EXCLUSIVE: WWE CHAMP CODY RHODES WORKING WITH MAJOR TALENT POWERHOUSE WME FOR FILM & TV ROLES

By Mike Johnson on 2024-05-27 19:50:00

Last week, it was reported that Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes had booked a role in The Naked Gun remake.

Since then, Rhodes has been listed as being represented theatrically by WME aka Endeavor, the powerhouse talent agency owned by Ari Emanuel, which also now owns WWE and UFC under TKO Group Holdings.   

In asking around, PWInsider.com can exclusively confirm Rhodes has been listed as working with WME for about four weeks. 

So, he would be the first-time WWE talent that we are aware of under contract to WWE who is also effectively being repped in Hollywood circles by his employer since TKO took over the company.  They rep The Rock and John Cena, as well as Logan Paul currently, as well as former WWE star Ronda Rousey.

Rhodes also remains a client with The Prototype Talent Agency, which he has had a longstanding relationship with going back many years.  Prototype owner Brian Wittenstein is a former WWE and TNA official.

Beyond the professional wrestling realm, Rhodes has appeared on TBS' Go Big Show and CW Network's Arrow.
