Cody Rhodes claims he’s not done expanding the Nightmare family — even after a direct hit below the belt.

During WWE’s live event in Detroit on December 30, 2025, Rhodes talked about his ability to have more children after being low-blowed by Drew McIntyre during their heated feud. The American Nightmare made it very clear: he’s still good to go for a third baby.

“Do you guys have New Year’s resolutions? Well, I don’t know if you heard — Drew gave me a low blow and then told my lovely mother-in-law that we couldn’t have a third. Oh no! I think I’m still good to go!”

This comes just a few months after Cody and Brandi Rhodes welcomed their second daughter, Leilani Ella Runnels, in August. The Rhodes family shared their joy on social media when Brandi announced the birth alongside a sweet message.

“Welcome to the world Leilani Ella Runnels. We are in love. Thank you God for answered prayers. Cody + Brandi + Libby + Lani = ❤️”

The couple’s first daughter, Liberty, was born in 2021. With two kids already lighting up their home, Cody’s cheeky comment now has fans wondering if baby #3 might be in the cards sooner rather than later.
