“The American Nightmare’ is here to stay in the WWE.
As he prepares for the biggest rematch of his WWE career, Cody Rhodes has made a huge impact since coming back to the WWE with most noting him as the next face of the company due to the way the fans love him and how easy it is for anyone to support him finishing his story.
Rhodes, however, does not see himself leaving anytime soon once his story is potentially finished at WrestleMania 40. Rhodes confirmed in an interview with Justin Walker that he has signed a new multi-year deal with the WWE.
“I can tell you 40 is out of the question just because, not to give you scoop, it was widely reported, but I did sign a new contract with WWE. It extends beyond my 40th birthday. The plan is still when it’s time to step out, to step out without it being a painful process. Solely because I saw my dad as an old man wrestler and he loved it and enjoyed it, but as his son it was hard to see. My daughter is two going on three, there does have a be a time, just like he was with us, where I have to be home all the time and be there with her. It’s not 40 anymore. I’ll update the number. I hit them prime run late in the game. I often forget that I’m nearing 40.” (Justin Walker)
Rhodes is set to challenge Roman Reigns on night two of WrestleMania 40 for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship in the main event. However, on night one, Rhodes will team with Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins to take on Reigns and ‘The Final Boss’ The Rock in the main event.
