The discussion of a potential heel turn of Cody Rhodes, who is the present face of WWE, has been on the table for a long time. Rhodes has done a tremendous job ever since returning to WWE in 2022, and he has always been treated as the successor of Roman Reigns during his second run in the promotion.
Rhodes had been portrayed as a babyface since the very first day of his return to the promotion in 2022. And after he defeated Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL, he is being portrayed as the face of WWE. In most cases, the face of a promotion always plays a babyface character.
Is Cody Rhodes turning heel soon?
But a large number of fans believe that WWE should consider turning Cody Rhodes heel now, since his character is getting a little stale and also quite monotonous. Reports suggest that WWE officials are also thinking about turning him heel soon; they are just waiting for the right moment.
Cody Rhodes had a match with Drew McIntyre on SmackDown last Friday
A huge rumor has it that Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship as a heel against a baby face Roman Reigns in a future main event of WrestleMania. This has been a dream match, and a large number of fans believe that a rematch between the two at a WrestleMania event is inevitable.
Rhodes intentionally disqualified himself in this match
Rumors have already started to float that a WWE official started the process of turning him heel from SmackDown last Friday. He had a match against Drew McIntyre on the main event of the show, where he got disqualified intentionally after he hit Drew with the Championship, which is undoubtedly a heelish act.
After Jacob Fatu suffered a long term injury, it is pretty much confirmed that Drew McIntyre will continue his rivalry with the American Nightmare for the Undisputed WWE Championship, which will continue for a number of months. This rivalry has all the potential to turn Rhodes' heel and explore a completely new direction.
