Cody Rhodes Makes Shocking Declaration About Future WWE Heel Turn

Cody Rhodes’ heel turn has been a question for a while now.

Fans have wondered if The American Nightmare will embrace the dark side and force John Cena to become the good guy again.

While he may have dropped hints of turning heel, it’s important to note that a stronger babyface needs to emerge ahead of Rhodes turning heel.

Cody Rhodes has provided a statement about his heel turn

Recently, the former Undisputed WWE Champion appeared on First Take, and during his appearance, he answered a question about a possible heel turn.

While he acknowledged that one can never say never in the pro-wrestling business, a heel turn might not work in his favour and could even sabotage his popularity.

I always like to say in what we do, never say never. And the more you’re in this, it’s probably likely. But I think my version of a heel is just way too… I don’t know. I wouldn’t have music. The song would go away. The entrance would go away. I’d try to get myself canceled. I don’t know if it would even translate.

Never say never, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon. [h/t: Ringside News]

At SummerSlam 2025, Rhodes will face Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena in a Street Fight. There’s no telling what to expect in this match, but it is unlikely that Rhodes will dethrone Cena.
