Rhodes acknowledged and supports fellow wrestlers taking time off to recover from injuries, pursue outside projects, or return to action refreshed. However, he stated that consistency is the guiding principle behind his own approach, a philosophy he credits to advice received from Bobby Roode.

This discussion emerges as CM Punk's planned hiatus is noted, following his World Heavyweight Championship loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42. Punk's body transformation has drawn attention ahead of a reported SummerSlam season return, while Rhodes continues to maintain a steady, weekly presence across WWE programming.
