Cody Rhodes teases Hollywood jump after WWE

Over the years, fans have witnessed several WWE and pro-wrestlers make a jump to Hollywood after making a name in the sport. While not all find the success they hope for, others become Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista.

One of the top names in the industry currently and a former acting student of the Howard Fine Acting School, Cody Rhodes was recently asked about his thoughts on potentially exploring a career in Hollywood. With his Street Fighter coming out later this year, Rhodes teased making the switch.

“I definitely want to grow beyond telling stories in the ring. I got the opportunity to do Street Fighter, it comes out this October. Kitao Sakurai directed this movie. I saw bits of it the other day. I think it’s going to be a huge hit. I hope it is, because I had such a fun time making it,” he said.

“I want to do more of that. What we do .n the ring is tell stories. I’d love to do it outside of falling down in the pro-wrestling ring, but that’ll come when this is done. Everyone who carried the actual main title in the industry has to carry it with the responsibility that comes with it, and the responsibility has a timeline on it. Keeping this as long as I can is the immediate goal.

“The American Nightmare” also discussed how moving into Hollywood is the natural extension for WWE Superstars by sharing the examples of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bautista, and Cena. “Moving into Hollywood is a definite natural extension of what we do next. Just being able to tell stories. Batista, Dwayne, Cena, Terry Funk, even. There has been so many examples of guys who really did well with it, and brought their skillset over to it.“

Rhodes is currently scheduled to face Gunther in May. 31, 2026, at the Clash in Italy PLE.
