Cody Rhodes Extends Partnership Agreement Outside Of WWE

Cody Rhodes has an agreement with a company outside of WWE, and it’s expected to continue.

It was one year ago when Cody Rhodes finished his story by becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion for the first time in his career. Since then, Cody has been the “quarterback” of WWE that has led the way on screen, behind the scenes and outside of the company as well.

During his WWE Championship reign, Cody Rhodes hosted a YouTube interview series that was sponsored by Wheatley Vodka, which had an agreement to sponsor Cody.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that Cody and Wheatley Vodka have agreed to extend their partnership. That partnership started in March 2024, which was just before Cody won the WWE Championship.

The Fightful report notes that Cody’s agreement with Wheatley is expected to continue for years to come while it’s being considered a “huge” partnership extension. The partnership has been considered a “big one” for WWE.

As for the Cody Rhodes “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” interview series, there are expected to be a new batch of episodes coming soon. Past episodes featured talking to guests like Randy Orton, Bayley, Bianca Belair, R-Truth, LA Knight, and The Miz.

In addition to the interview series, Cody’s bus is also wrapped with Wheatley logos and other designs. That Wheatley design on Cody’s bus is expected to continue.
