Cody Rhodes: One Long-Term Goal I Have Is To Be The Most Profitable WWE Talent Ever

Cody Rhodes has a big goal in mind.

As the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Cody Rhodes is at the top of the mountain in WWE. His accomplishments go beyond the ring as he grants wishes for Make A Wish and is one of the top-selling superstars in terms of merchandise, along with being the faces of various brands including PRIME and Wheatley.

With his WrestleMania XL story finish, Cody has given his goal for what's next.

"One goal, and I think I have two parciular goals that I've really put in mind because I'm a big long-term and short-term goal individual. A long-term goal for me is that I would like to be the most profitable talent that WWE has ever had. I know who hangs in that group. Your Austin 3:16s [Steve Austin], your Hustle, Loyal, Respect John Cenas, I know what I have been doing and I know the length that I have to keep doing this for this goal to become a reality. That one is a little inside baseball and not all that glamorous, but even today, I would like to give WWE everything I possibly have because I feel like so much has been given to me coming out of WrestleMania XL. Sure, we worked for it and earned it, and I do think I'm the right person for the job, but I would like to make sure, when it's time, I leave them in the best possible place they've ever been," said Cody on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg.
