Cody Rhodes Addresses Potential WWE Heel Turn

Certain fans wish for Cody to become a heel in WWE, and he has now responded to this. “You’ll know because X and Instagram will hate it. Today, heels are like, ‘Oh, that’s a cool heel, we love John Cena.’ No. If you’re burying it, hating it, and saying you don’t want it on TV—that’s what a real bad guy is,” Cody Rhodes stated.

“I think you’ve got a good solid year, maybe even three years, because I’m not changing until I’m changed. My hair is naturally dark, I don’t know if I can go back. But if The Rock had it his way, I would’ve been changed already. So I think he sees something I don’t see, and that’s a very smart individual—so maybe I follow his lead.”
