According to a report from Fightful Select, despite a past creative pitch for a heel turn, WWE currently has no intention of turning Cody Rhodes.
The report notes that sources within WWE have said after The Rock revisited the possibility of a Cody heel turn during his appearance on the Pat McAfee show, WWE emphasized that internally there was pushback against Cody turning heel, with many saying that he plays a huge role with ticket and merchandise sales.
Earlier this year, there were reports indicating WWE had talked about the idea of possibly turning Cody heel, but many that are close to Cody said at the time they were not on board with the idea.
The report concludes by noting that WWE has already planned and organized babyface storylines for Cody for the remainder of 2025.
