While speaking with Kay Adams of the YouTube Up & Adams Show at Fanatics Fest this past weekend, former Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes said that he believes he is at the “tail end” of his run as a babyface.
Cody said that he ever gets tired of being the nice guy, loves the support from the fans and wishes it would last forever. However, he said that he thinks his time as a good guy has only one to three years left before he needs to change his character and turn heel. Adams also asked how will the fans know when its time for him to make the switch.
“You’ll know because X and Instagram will hate it. Because today, heels are like, oh, that’s a cool heel. We’re loving John Cena, no, if you’re if you’re burying it and hate it and talking about how you don’t want it on your TV that’s what an actual bad guy is.”
“I think you have a good solid year, maybe even three years, because I am not changing until I’m changed, if that makes any sense. My hair is naturally dark. I don’t know if I could go back. But if The Rock had it his way, I would have been changed already. So I think he sees something that maybe I don’t see, and that’s a very smart individual. So maybe I follow his lead. Maybe not.”
Cody also said that if The Rock had his way, he (Cody), would have already turned heel.
“If The Rock had it his way, I would have been changed already,” Rhodes said. “So I think he sees something that maybe I don’t see. And that’s a very smart individual, so maybe I follow his lead. Maybe not.”
