Cody Rhodes has shared his perspective on a potential heel turn in WWE, explaining that while he is open to changing his character alignment to benefit the company, his approach would intentionally avoid being appealing to the audience.
During an appearance on the Ebro, Laura, and Rosenberg Show, the top WWE Superstar noted that he would embrace a villainous role if it served to advance the promotion. However, he warned fans that his presentation would differ significantly from the “cool” heel persona many viewers anticipate.
How a Cody Rhodes Heel Turn Would Avoid the “Cool Heel
Rhodes explained that his primary objective in turning heel would be to make his character genuinely unlikable. Rather than delivering weekly monologues to explain his actions, he outlined a specific communication strategy:
- One-Time Explanation: Rhodes stated he would explain the reasoning behind his turn to the audience only once.
- Delegated Promos: Following that initial statement, he would stop cutting promos altogether and delegate all speaking duties to someone else.
Faction Teases and Shifting Crowd Reactions
In addition to discussing his individual character direction, Rhodes revealed that he has already been dropping subtle hints on WWE television about forming a new faction. These on-screen teases—combined with resurfaced past articles predicting his rise as a future champion—have continued to fuel discussion among fans online.
While Rhodes has maintained his position as one of WWE’s premier babyfaces, sporadic boos and mixed crowd reactions at select events have kept ongoing speculation about an eventual heel turn active within the wrestling community.
