Did Cody Rhodes Just Break Up With WWE Fans In Controversial Tweet
One of Cody Rhodes’ recent tweets caused chaos among the WWE Universe.
His message on X was cryptic and could have been a hint at a major character restructuring or his imminent hiatus due to filming commitments.
It was recently reported that Rhodes had signed for the 2026 Street Fighter movie, directed by Kitao Sakurai, which will also star his SmackDown peer Roman Reigns.
Ever since returning to WWE in 2022, the American Nightmare has maintained a babyface persona.
Fans and critics have discussed his potential heel turn; even Cody Rhodes himself has been open to the idea. No wonder his tweet was received with shock and surprise.
Don’t flinch. Thank you all for riding with me all this time. Love you for it.
Excited for what we do next.

Sam Roberts of NotSam Wrestling brought up Rhodes’ tweet during his latest podcast episode, speculating whether it was his breakup message for WWE fans.
What if Cody, in this tweet, is saying, “Listen, I got no problem with you fans, but I’m not riding for you anymore. I’m not doing this for you anymore. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, I appreciate everything you’ve given me. But now, now we move on to the next thing. And the next thing is me acting in my best interest, not in your best interest.” And what if that makes Cody a heel? [12:28 onwards]
