After waiting for nearly two decades, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has finished his story, and he now has a new mission in his sights. After officially becoming the new face of the company, it’s his target to acquire more profit for the TKO-owned brand.
Cody Rhodes recently appeared on the Cheap Heat podcast and told the hosts Peter Rosenberg and Stat Guy Greg that he hopes to shatter the records of the former franchise players of the WWE, such as Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, and Roman Reigns to become the undisputed box office king of the company.
“I would like to be the most profitable talent that WWE has ever had. And I know who hangs in that group. You know, your Austin 316s, your Hustle Loyalty, Respect, your John Cena’s. I know what I have been doing, and I know the link that I have to keep doing this for this goal to become a reality,” Cody Rhodes affirmed his wish.
“So that one, it’s a little inside baseball, and it’s not all that glamorous, but I really, even today, feel a sense of I would like to give WWE everything I possibly have.”
