Cody Rhodes is open to making a heel turn in WWE after years of being a babyface

I’m really open. That’s the biggest thing that I tell people all the time. You’re going to make that shift and go heel or stay babyface, whatever it is, whatever’s best for WWE. But we are starting to get into an area where if you think I’m a heel, then I’m already a heel. If you think I’m a heel, you know? And I’m not trying to make it so that you can’t get what you want, but if you think I’m a heel, I might already be a heel because we have a whole other side of it that doesn’t think that.

A prime example: I went out there the other night. I said I loved punting Randy Orton. I loved it. And I tried to put a little growl in it. ‘I loved it!’ And they just cheered.

I thought, ‘Oh, I thought they were going to boo.’ So you can’t—you know, that’s the beautiful thing about our fans. There’s no wrong way to be a fan. You can’t guess which direction.

To hit it on the head a little more specifically, if something like Heyman or someone else, me as a heel would take a lot away from what I currently do. And it would probably add in its own way. I don’t want to say we’d—it’s different. I think it looks different than people think.”
