Cody Rhodes is enjoying his run as a babyface in WWE and believes they are becoming popular again with younger fans. Rhodes addressed the possibility of a future heel turn in a recent interview.
Rhodes made an appearance on Live! with Kelly & Mark on Wednesday to promote upcoming WWE events and outside projects. The conversation turned to his role in WWE and why he’s embracing life as one of WWE’s top babyfaces. Rhodes explained why he believes babyfaces are currently popular in WWE.
\"For a long time, there were a lot of anti-heroes,\" Rhodes said. \"Just recently it felt like WWE hit this stride with so much youth in the audience that it felt like babyfaces came back to life.\
He pointed to Jey Uso and Sami Zayn as examples of current stars who are popular babyfaces. He added, \"And for me to be able to be in that spot, I don’t want to leave it. It’s so much fun.\"
Is Cody Rhodes Turning Heel?
Despite rumors suggesting Rhodes could be in line for a heel turn, recent reports have indicated that neither WWE nor Rhodes himself are interested in going in that direction at this time.
All signs continue to point toward Rhodes remaining one of the company’s top good guys, potentially heading into WrestleMania 42 in a major Undisputed WWE Championship match against Drew McIntyre.
Rhodes lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre and will compete in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on SmackDown against Sami Zayn and Jacob Fatu this Friday night.
