CODY RHODES MAY TURN HEEL AFTER SUMMERSLAM
Cody Rhodes is about to face one of the most important moments of his WWE career, and the signs of a possible turn to the villainous side, the much-talked-about heel turn, are increasingly evident. With SummerSlam approaching, everything indicates that the "American Nightmare" may take a new direction in his career. Below, we list five strong signs that point to this change in attitude.
During the latest episode of SmackDown, John Cena announced that he would not participate in SummerSlam due to emotional and physical exhaustion. Instead of shvowing empathy or concern, Cody Rhodes reacted coldly, contrary to the typical hero attitude. This indifference raises the alarm about a possible transformation in his personality.
In the same episode, Cody didn't hesitate to attack Cena with the title belt and even performed a frog splash, forcing Cena to sign a contract for a match at SummerSlam. His behavior was aggressive, ruthless, and remorseless, completely opposite to the attitude Cody had displayed at previous major events, such as WrestleMania.
Another curious detail was the use of accessories directly reminiscent of The Rock, such as sunglasses and a luxury watch. These items were often part of the "Final Boss"'s look, and their inclusion in Cody's look raises speculation about a possible influence or even alliance with the WWE legend.
In the King of the Ring final, Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton using an exposed turnbuckle, a typically villainous tactic. This attitude demonstrates that Cody is willing to cross boundaries and act dirty to achieve victories, even if it means harming allies and former friends.
The presence of elements linked to The Rock and the mentions made backstage fuel rumors that Cody may be being manipulated or mentored by him. With The Rock currently wielding significant influence behind the scenes in WWE, this connection could be the trigger for Rhodes's full heel turn.
Besides Cody Rhodes's potential transformation into a villain, there's a theory that we'll see a double turn at SummerSlam, with Cody turning heel while John Cena returns to his classic WWE hero, ending his career on a high note. This role reversal would make the event even more impactful, with intense emotions and an unforgettable narrative.
