Wrestling aficionados across the globe are tuned in and actively participating across various platforms, particularly social media, where immediate responses and viewpoints are frequently voiced in 2025.
Despite the fact that many wrestlers are active online, Nick Khan, the president of WWE, insists that fan feedback received via social media doesn’t play a role in their television programming choices. In a conversation with Adrian Hernandez, Khan successfully articulated his point,
“We won’t respond to social media. It’s a mistake to respond to that. We have to trust our gut.”

Cody and Brandi Rhodes exited AEW in February 2022, and Cody made his comeback to WWE at WrestleMania 38. In subsequent events, he emerged as a significant figure at the next two WrestleManias, finally securing the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL.
In a recent dialogue with Mostly Sports, Cody looked back on a prior discussion he had where he hinted at his possible return to WWE. While admitting that he may have overstated, he stressed the necessity of maintaining multiple contingency plans. Emotionally touched, he admitted that he received more than he ever hoped for.
Rhodes expressed, “Not that I had it in mind, but you do have to be kind of like Batman, in a sense that you have to have a plan for the plan for the next plan, and the road looked like it was heading that way. Also, at the time, I really was torn. One thing was my baby, and something that I’ve very much loved, and was part of its inception and the origin, and was so lucky to have those guys with me be part of that. But then the other is your destiny calling you, fate, and what you do next. That was just a tricky spot to be in, and incredibly, I’m never gonna forget it, Brandi told me, and I almost get choked up thinking about it, but she just said,’ Be careful what you wish for.’ Then what I wished for, plus a million, came true. But that was a heck of a day.”
He further elaborated, “I think I was speaking a little bit out of turn, saying, ‘You’re not going to believe it,’ because that could have been anything. That could have just been wrestling being wrestling. It could have been anything. But I’m happy that my words were correct in the sense that it was going to be a move that was good for the industry.”
