Cody Rhodes Admits He’s No Longer Against Turning Heel in WWE

TLDR

Cody Rhodes has changed his stance on potentially turning heel in WWE, stating during an April 14, 2026 appearance on Unsportsmanlike that he's "no longer ruling it out" after previously being "bullish and really absolute" against the idea. Rhodes explained he's now "really open to all paths and avenues" and believes fans enjoy unpredictability in wrestling storylines. This marks a significant shift from his previous position where he stated he had "no interest" in playing a bad guy character.
