Cody Rhodes Refutes WWE Heel Turn Plans Amid Social Media Speculation

News summary

Cody Rhodes has addressed the widespread speculation about a potential heel turn in his wrestling career during an appearance on Busted Open Radio, emphasizing that such discussions primarily exist on social media platforms like X rather than in WWE's creative plans. While Rhodes previously hinted that his babyface run might be nearing its end, he has since walked back those comments, expressing uncertainty about turning heel with the time he has left in wrestling but maintaining a "never say never" stance. Hosts on the podcast encouraged Rhodes to embrace his role as a fan-favorite hero, reflecting WWE's current storytelling focus on him as a top babyface champion. Rhodes' recent remarks suggest a possible continuation of his heroic character at least through SummerSlam, where he is set to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship after winning the King of the Ring tournament. Despite the backtracking, Rhodes acknowledges the fluid nature of wrestling personas and leaves open the possibility of a heel turn in the future. The Rock had previously advocated for a heel turn for Rhodes earlier this year, but WWE rejected the idea for now, indicating that Rhodes' character evolution remains a topic for future consideration.
