NEW DELHI: The contract status of wrestling sensation Cody Rhodes in WWE has become the subject of speculation, as fans and insiders try to decode the mystery surrounding his future with the company. Rhodes, a significant draw in merchandise sales, remains a fan favorite, with his iconic entrance garnering enthusiastic responses from the audience.

Initial reports suggested that WWE was eager to secure Rhodes with a lucrative, long-term contract. However, recent developments have added a layer of uncertainty to the situation.


Despite acquiring a new bus for his travels, often considered a sign of commitment and financial investment, the anticipated contract extension has not been officially confirmed.

Behind Fightful's paywall on the Backstage Report podcast, Sean Sapp provided insights into Rhodes' bus purchase, clarifying that it wasn't necessarily linked to a new contract.

The bus, seen as a "life-changer" for pro wrestlers due to its impact on travel comfort and wear and tear, had been on Rhodes' radar long before reports of a contract extension surfaced. Many talents within WWE assumed the bus acquisition was a signal of a renewed deal, contributing to the prevailing confusion.

The significance of a wrestler having a personal bus is not lost within the industry. The Big Show, for instance, credited traveling by bus with extending his wrestling career by a decade or more. The reduced strain of road travel on the body, irrespective of the wrestler's stature, makes it a valuable investment.
