Cody Rhodes Admits He’s Getting Tired Of Long Rivalries In WWE

Cody Rhodes has been part of some of WWE’s biggest feuds, but now he’s making it clear that long-running rivalries aren’t always something he enjoys being stuck in.

While speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show, Cody opened up about how drawn-out rivalries can become exhausting over time. Rather than calling out any one opponent, he spoke broadly about how staying locked into the same feud for multiple matches can wear wrestlers down physically and mentally.

Cody explained that once rivalries stretch across several matches, it can feel like you’re stuck in a cycle that keeps going without a clear end. He admitted that those types of feuds can take a serious toll, especially when the matches become increasingly intense.

“I hope that doesn't put a rain on anyone's parade, but I'm getting tired of wrestling guys like. I just… you get into these longstanding rivalries and you're just in there. I mean, me and your husband wrestled four times now (Seth Rollins). Like, and more than that really, but like four, and I think took a great deal out of each other on the way. I mean, so I don't know if that's what I'm looking to do here. As much as I want him to see me, that's the hill in front of me.”

Cody’s remarks suggest that while rivalries remain a core part of wrestling storytelling, there’s a growing awareness among performers about how much repeated matchups can take out of them. Instead of being locked into endless rematches, his words hint at a preference for rivalries that feel meaningful without dragging on longer than necessary.

Cody Rhodes has built his career on intense competition, but his latest comments show that even the most driven performers can feel the strain of drawn-out feuds.
