That’s why the segment more or less ended with the two men launching verbal heat-seeking missiles at each other. There was one interesting line, where Orton said that Cody Rhodes is a good guy and has “always” been a good guy. One can’t help but feel like this was a foreshadowing of a possible heel turn.

Of course, Cody going heel would be quite a risky business decision, but many fans would argue that it’s a decision that could turn the business around for the better. We’ve seen time and again over the decades how a babyface who is getting stale can turn the entire business around with one good heel run.

Hulk Hogan did this in 1996, and Roman Reigns did this 24 years later in 2020. Granted, Cody isn’t in nearly the same position that Hogan was, nor Roman Reigns. While a portion of fans consider his character stale, he is still very much popular amongst the core demographic of younger fans.
