Article: Cody Rhodes, the current Undisputed WWE Champion, has shared his thoughts on whether WWE made the right decision not to turn John Cena heel many years ago. During a recent appearance on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, Rhodes commented on the possibility of turning heel himself and reflected on Cena’s career as a babyface.
Rhodes acknowledged that he has been booed before and could potentially turn heel in the future, but he believes WWE made the right call in keeping Cena a good guy.
“I think what we got there, we look back at now and realize, I was just watching him vs. Umaga the other day, you see the magic of what John was able to do,” Rhodes said.
Cena’s popularity has endured despite being booed by crowds over a decade ago.
The 16-time world champion remains one of the biggest stars in WWE history, loved by fans across the world. Rhodes’ comments suggest that WWE’s decision to keep Cena as a babyface allowed him to maintain his beloved status and create memorable moments in the ring.
Rhodes’ own career has taken a different path. After finally achieving his dream of winning a WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL, he is now focused on retaining his title against AJ Styles at the Backlash Premium Live Event in France this Saturday.
The match will be the first time the two superstars face each other, and it remains to be seen whether Rhodes will emerge victorious.
While Rhodes may not see himself turning heel anytime soon, his comments highlight the importance of staying true to one’s character in professional wrestling. By remaining committed to their personas, wrestlers like Cena and Rhodes can build strong connections with their audience and create lasting legacies in the sport.
As Rhodes prepares to defend his title against Styles, fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of their highly anticipated match. Will Rhodes retain his championship, or will Styles dethrone him? One thing is certain – both superstars will give it their all and put on an unforgettable show for the fans.
