AEW TNT Champion
Cody Rhodes recently
told Bleacher Report that he is keen to pursue a career in politics after his wrestling career.
Cody said he is likely to retire from wrestling in another five years and run for the Senate in his home state of Georgia.
"I'm 35, and I said I only wanted to wrestle for five more years," said Cody. "I have political aspirations. I would love to run for the Senate in the great state of Georgia. I want to help with the sphere of influence I have created.
"I always say if you do the work, it will pay off. That is why I love Brandi. She is so incredibly hardworking, and we have to remind each other to be present often, but when we are it's very special," he added.
If he succeeds as a politician, Cody will be following in the footsteps of Jesse Ventura, former governor of Minnesota, Glenn "Kane" Jacobs, the current mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, and Matt Morgan, the current mayor of the city of Longwood, Florida.
