Rhodes wrestles for All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor and had made clear that he intends to retire from in-ring competition while under contract with the companies.

“Absolutely.I’m a very humble guy though, it’s like, if it comes, it comes, whatever.I would love Cody to do it and my daughter, specifically both of them,” he said.“That would be just great, the most meaningful, heartfelt.But if it comes, it comes, if it doesn’t, no big deal.I’ve had an awesome, incredible career.Doing some great things.

“I feel like theselast seven years in AEW, I’ve been really on top of my game because I’ve had more freedom to enjoy it, and it’s happier and you’re more passionate, find your passion sometimes again, and you want to grow this company the best we can, and we’re all on the same page in AEW.We are doing the best that we can to get it to where it needs to be, and it’s growing.It’s getting huge.”

“I’ve wrestled with my dad a bunch of times, Cody only that once.So it’s been special to bein the ringwith both of them, all of us together.That’s probably the most special moment I’ve had in the business.”
