Cody Rhodes Reveals He Wants To Get Into Politics

Cody Rhodes had a big night on Saturday as he defended the TNT Championship against Darby Allin at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view. Unfortunately for Rhodes he lost the match, but he took the defeat with grace, and willingly handed the belt over to Allin after the loss.

The former champion has made a name for himself in the professional wrestling industry, and he’s certainly raised his profile over the last few years, but he doesn’t plan to wrestle forever.

Rhodes recently spoke to Bleacher Report about life after wrestling, and during the interview he revealed that he has political aspirations.

“I have a ton of desire to do more acting so long as it doesn’t conflict with my job here. I’m 35, and I said I only wanted to wrestle for five more years. I have political aspirations. I would love to run for the Senate in the great state of Georgia. I want to help with the sphere of influence I have created. I always say if you do the work, it will pay off. That is why I love Brandi. She is so incredibly hardworking, and we have to remind each other to be present often, but when we are it’s very special.”

Cody certainly wouldn’t be the only professional wrestler to get into politics, as names such as Jesse Ventura and Kane have been able to make the transition with success.

One thing’s for sure, it will be interesting to see where Cody Rhodes ends up when he finally does decided to stop wrestling.
