The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently revealed that he visited WWE headquarters to explore what his career might look like after his in-ring days are over.
The Undisputed WWE Champion treated the trip like a formal job interview, preparing detailed presentations and meeting with key departments across the company.
Cody Rhodes Prepared Detailed Presentations for WWE Departments
Speaking on the What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Rhodes explained his methodical approach to the visit. He wanted to understand what working at WWE’s corporate office would actually entail.
“I wanted to go to the office to see what life would be like at the office at WWE HQ. I had a career before as Executive Vice President (at AEW), and I failed at it,” Rhodes said. “I had some success along the way, but failed. Ultimately, I learned a great deal from said failure, but I wanted to go and I wanted to treat it like I was going there for a job.”
Rhodes created a full tech format with detailed timelines based on WWE’s current operations. He shared these materials with Bruce Prichard and the creative team, then met with Lee Fitting’s CPG department to discuss potential contributions.
“I didn’t want to be unprepared,” Rhodes explained. “I reached out to as many people as I could on the roster and said, ‘What’s an idea for you? What’s something you want to do?’”
Roster Members Responded with Varying Levels of Detail
The responses Rhodes received from fellow WWE talent varied significantly. Some wrestlers called him directly, others didn’t reply at all, and some sent brief text messages with simplified notes.
Rhodes singled out Kit Wilson for providing exceptional detail.
“You didn’t send me a text or voicemail. I have nine full-blown PDFs. At every meeting I was in, I almost spoke about you,” Rhodes said.
While Cody Rhodes remains focused on his run as Undisputed WWE Champion, his visit to WWE headquarters showed he is already thinking ahead about life after wrestling.
