Cody Rhodes revealed that he looks for a role in the office every time he visits WWE headquarters. He has yet to find one, though, and has stepped away from the idea for now.
Rhodes discussed the topic on today’s episode of his What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, with Chelsea Green joining him as the guest.
“I actively try to find a role, something I could do,” Rhodes said. “And there wasn’t one. But not in a creative sense, just something.”
However, Rhodes made it clear that he isn’t looking for a creative role. In May, during his episode with Kit Wilson, Rhodes said that he treated his visit to WWE headquarters as if he were looking for a job.
Rhodes explained that he sits in on all of the meetings, not just the creative ones. That’s because he wants to know what the people working behind the scenes do, who is in charge of each project and even which partner companies help WWE build its sets. According to Rhodes, some employees pick up on that right away, while others introduce themselves by asking what they can do for him.
“We’re not doing that,” he said. “I actually wanna know what you guys do. Like, tell me.”
Rhodes also mentioned Bruce Prichard, who often tells visiting wrestlers that “they all work for you” while giving them a tour of the office. Rhodes doesn’t take it literally, since he believes everyone works for each other, but he got the message that nobody there should be afraid to ask a real question.
Rhodes announced in October on the Flagrant podcast that he has re-signed with WWE and will finish his in-ring career with the promotion. In the ring, he’s next set to compete at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 28 at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas, where he’ll lead Team USA against Rey Mysterio’s Team Mexico.
