WWE is such a world-renowned brand that its stars have a fan following in practically every continent. With such a huge fan base, it only becomes easier for them to get placed in commercials or TV shows, or even movies. As the number of wrestlers who’re leaving pro wrestling for Hollywood increases, one man is not able to do the same.

Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Batista are 3 superstars who used their WWE fame to make their way into Hollywood. Taking inspiration from these 3 Hollywood heavyweights, ‘The American Nightmare’ Cody Rhodes once considered taking a decision that would have definitely upset all the wrestling fans.

According to Cody Rhodes’s sister, he wanted to quit wrestling to start a career in television

The entire WWE universe knows that if there is one wrestler who can control the crowd with his charisma, it’s none other than Cody Rhodes. His emotional promos always strike a chord with almost every WWE fan.

And it’s this gift of acting that he wanted to use to make it big in television. He already made his TV debut in Warehouse 13 in 2010 and later was in the action series Arrow between 2016 to 2018. When he quit AEW, he actually thought he could pursue acting full-time.

On her recent appearance on Wrestling Binge, Cody Rhodes’ sister Teil Runnels talked about how he was about to quit wrestling and move to television full-time. She said, “Yeah. He thought, ‘If I could leave, maybe I could get into TV. I could get into acting.’ But Cody, the business is really his life. He loves it so much, and that’s when he went on that incredible indie run where he made his list and, obviously, left WWE. Every step he took kind of brought us to where we are now.”
