Cody Rhodes Says WWE Already Has “Gold Just Sitting There” for Physical Hall of Fame

The idea of a physical WWE Hall of Fame just picked up serious momentum — and this time, it’s Cody Rhodes pushing the conversation forward.

After Triple H said back in November 2025 that a brick-and-mortar Hall of Fame “might still be something in the future,” fans were left wondering whether that was just talk. Now, Rhodes has added fuel to the fire. While speaking to Brandon Walker on February 27, 2026, Rhodes was asked directly when WWE might finally build a physical Hall of Fame. Instead of brushing it off, he made it clear that the material for one already exists — and it’s extensive.

“A physical Hall of Fame? Because of the podcast I do — and thank you for the inspiration, by the way — we record it at HQ. I can tell you there’s more than enough there not just for a Hall of Fame, but for a rotating Hall of Fame. Exhibits that change in and out. There’s gold just sitting there.”

Rhodes then pulled back the curtain a bit on just how much historical material WWE has stored away at headquarters.

“Pat Patterson’s booking journal is just laying there. Creative Services material is everywhere. Ben does a great job, but even he’s said it’s coming so fast that he’s trying to figure out what to do with all of it.”

Rhodes didn’t confirm any official plans, but he made it clear he hopes it becomes reality and even floated potential locations.

“I hope a physical Hall of Fame is something in the future. Maybe Vegas. Maybe at the TKO offices — who knows? I’m not saying anything for sure. I think it was pitched for Orlando at one time — maybe, maybe not. But Orlando would be a great spot from a tourism standpoint.”

That’s notable timing. With WrestleMania 42 set for Las Vegas and WWE now operating under the TKO umbrella, the infrastructure — and corporate backing — may finally be there to make it happen.

For years, many have questioned why WWE, with one of the richest archives in sports entertainment history, doesn’t have a permanent museum-style attraction like other major sports leagues. Rhodes’ comments suggest the pieces are already in place — it may just be a matter of pulling the trigger.

Between Triple H saying it’s still possible and Rhodes openly acknowledging the treasure trove sitting at HQ, the idea of a physical WWE Hall of Fame feels more realistic than it has in years.

If WWE finally builds a physical Hall of Fame, where should it go — Las Vegas, Orlando, Stamford, or somewhere else entirely? Sound off in the comments.
