Cody Rhodes is probably the top superstar in WWE as of now. The way he naturally got over with the fans is indeed commendable. Rhodes is a fan-favorite babyface, and fans have been thoroughly enjoying his run with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
However, it now seems fans want to see Cody Rhodes’ heel turn as we advance. In that regard, it is worth mentioning that Rhodes had previously showcased heel turns in various wrestling promotions. During his time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling/Impact Wrestling, Cody made an appearance and called out Moose.
He then thanked Moose for helping his wife, Brandi Rhodes. But Rhodes later attacked Moose, thus turning heel. On the other hand, during Cody’s time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, he turned on Kenny Omega. Recently, a video of the heel turn has gone viral, which shows Omega trying to leave the ring when Rhodes attacked him from behind.
