Alright, let’s talk about how much that Cody Rhodes fella makes, you know, the wrestling guy. Folks keep askin’, so I figured I’d try and explain it the best I can. Now, I ain’t no fancy accountant or nothin’, so don’t expect no fancy numbers. This is just what I heard tell.
First off, nobody really knows for sure how much money that Vince McMahon fella offered Cody back in the day. It’s a secret, like how much sugar goes in my apple pie. But what I do know is, that Cody, he went off on his own for a while. Worked without gettin’ paid at all, can you believe it? Must’ve been tough, like tryin’ to plow a field with a broken mule.
Then he came back to WWE, and let me tell you, things changed. That Cody, he won the big belt, the Undisputed WWE Championship, at somethin’ called WrestleMania 40. After that, he signed a new contract, a real big one.
- Now, they say he’s makin’ around $3 million a year just from the wrestling. That’s a whole lotta corn, let me tell ya.
- But that ain’t all, no sir. He also gets money from sellin’ t-shirts and stuff, you know, like them fancy hats the young folks wear. They call it “merchandise.” Heard he makes another $3 million from that too. Land sakes, that’s enough money to buy a whole new tractor!
Someone said Cody told folks that the new offer he got was 15 times more than what he made when he first wrestled for WWE. Fifteen times! That’s like plantin’ one seed and gettin’ fifteen ears of corn. It’s a whole heap of money, no matter how you slice it.
So, let’s try to add it all up, like countin’ eggs in a basket. He gets $3 million for wrestlin’, and another $3 million for sellin’ stuff. That’s $6 million in total! My goodness, that’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life! Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it.
They also say he used to get paid somethin’ like $500,000 a year just for wrestlin’ before he got the big belt. That’s still a lot of money, mind you, enough to buy a nice piece of land. But compared to what he’s makin’ now, it’s like comparing a chicken to a whole roasted turkey.
Cody, he also tried to be a boss man over at another wrestlin’ place, AEW they called it. He said he wasn’t too good at it, but he might try somethin’ like that again in WWE. Who knows, maybe he’ll make even more money doin’ that. These fellas always find ways to make more money, it seems.
So, there you have it. As best as I can figure, Cody Rhodes is makin’ a boatload of money, around $6 million a year, maybe more. He’s doin’ alright for himself, that’s for sure. Makes you wonder if all that wrestlin’ and jumpin’ around is worth it. But hey, if he’s happy and makin’ a good livin’, then more power to him, I say. Just hope he remembers where he came from, and maybe buys his old granny a new porch swing.
Now, remember, this is just what I heard tell. The real numbers might be different, but this is close enough for government work, as they say.
