Cody Rhodes isnt waiting for someone to hand him the keys to WWEs locker room leadership hes taking responsibility in his own way, and hes doing it through actions, not speeches. During a recent appearance on Good Karma Wrestling with Jonathan Hood, Rhodes opened up about his evolving role in WWE, especially as veterans like John Cena move away from full-time competition. With Cena long viewed as the companys cornerstone leader, his reduced presence has naturally left a gap and Rhodes made it clear he understands the responsibility that comes with stepping into that space. Rhodes explained that leadership isnt something he tries to force through words. Instead, he focuses on showing others the standard through his own work ethic, preparation, and willingness to handle WWEs demanding schedule. Rhodes pointed specifically to WWEs intense WrestleMania media schedule as an opportunity to set the tone. Rather than simply encouraging talent to step up, he participates fully in the process to demonstrate whats required at the top level. He made it clear that his goal isnt to lecture younger stars, but to lead in a way that allows them to naturally absorb the lessons by watching his example. Rhodes specifically referenced rising talents and how he hopes theyll grow without needing direct instruction. Rhodes also addressed the massive impact John Cena had as WWEs locker room leader, acknowledging that his presence created a standard few could match. Still, Rhodes believes WWEs future leadership is already developing within the current roster. While Rhodes expressed humility about his own position, he admitted he hopes the next generation can benefit from watching how he handles his responsibilities, even as WWE continues evolving. With Cena transitioning into a different phase of his career and WWE pushing forward with a new generation of stars, Rhodes appears determined to help guide the company into its next era. His approach reflects the mindset of a veteran who understands that leadership isnt claimed its earned through consistency, performance, and example.
