During an appearance on Chairshot Sports, former WWE Women’s Champion Layla analyzed the possibility of Cody Rhodes turning heel under Triple H’s creative direction.
The discussion centered around WWE’s current investment in Rhodes as a top babyface.
For me, looking from the business aspect and stuff like that, WWE have invested so much into Cody Rhodes that they’re not gonna turn him heel. There’s no merch, there’s no money, there’s just no. So, right now, he is their top babyface. Well, so is Roman [Reigns]. (…) They have so much invested in Cody that the heel turn, possibly never gonna happen or when it happens, it’s gonna be like the end of his career when he starts like getting a little bit older. And I’m saying this in a very realistic way. I’m not trying to offend anybody because we all get older, our careers all come to an end.
Triple H has positioned Rhodes as the face of WWE’s current era since his return in 2022. As the current Undisputed WWE Champion, Rhodes continues to maintain his role as one of the company’s leading babyfaces alongside Roman Reigns.
