Well, let me tell ya, this Cody Rhodes fella, he’s got himself a mighty fine deal with WWE. Now, you might’ve heard folks talkin’ ‘bout him makin’ a heap of money, and believe me, they ain’t wrong. If you’re curious, ol’ Cody’s got himself a contract that’s more than just a few pennies.
Now, Cody’s base salary from WWE is somethin’ around $500,000 a year. That’s a good chunk of change if ya ask me! But hold on, that’s not all. He’s also pullin’ in extra money from other places. Merchandisin’, sponsors, special appearances… the whole shebang. When you add it all up, he’s makin’ close to $3 million a year. Ain’t that somethin’? All that from bein’ in the ring and signin’ shirts, it’s just wild.
What’s more, Cody’s been doin’ mighty fine since he come back to WWE in 2022. He’s been booked as the top good guy, the babyface. And, folks, he’s been cleanin’ up at them big events like the Royal Rumble, too! He won that thing back-to-back, which got him a chance to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship. He was on his way to takin’ the title at WrestleMania 40, which is just incredible. That boy’s climbin’ high up that ladder in WWE.
Now, Cody ain’t no stranger to a bit of a family legacy in the wrestling world. He’s part of the Rhodes family, a big name in the business. His daddy was Dusty Rhodes, and his brother is Goldust, so you can bet Cody had to live up to a lotta expectations when he came into the ring. But he’s done it, and now he’s one of the top stars WWE’s got.
And if you think that $3 million a year is a lot, well, Cody’s also got himself some investments, too. They say his net worth is right around $8 million, all that includin’ his salary, endorsements, and whatever other ways he’s bringin’ in money. You know, when you’re a big name like him, the money just keeps comin’.
Now, don’t get it twisted. Even with all this cash, Cody’s got big plans for the future. In an interview, he even said he plans to retire before he hits 40. That’s right, he’s makin’ bank and gettin’ outta the game while he’s still young. That’s the way to do it, if ya ask me. But with his new contract, it looks like he might be stickin’ around a little longer than he thought. They say it’s one of the most complex contracts ever put together in WWE history. I guess that’s what happens when you’re one of the top guys in the business.
All in all, Cody Rhodes ain’t just makin’ a living, he’s makin’ a legacy. From that big ol’ paycheck to all the fame, he’s sure goin’ places. And I reckon with the way things are goin’, we ain’t seen the last of him in that ring for a while.
