You could say that Cody Rhodes is the most important Babyface of WWE today. However, a former WWE name suggested that the 39 -year -old fighter could experience a significant personality change.
Despite admitting in a recent interview with Vegas Revealed that many of his character's features They are usually linked to heels The American Nightmare explained that it is a “old school babyface.” The former interim general manager of RAW, Jonathan Coachman, addressed Rhodes' personality in his podcast Behind The Turnbuckle: The War Room stating that it should become more vindictive as in your dispute with AJ Styles.
The wrestling veteran explained that the character of Rhodes, who becomes more daring and implacable, would be more attractive to young fans even if he did not make a total turn towards the role of villain:
“This is the matter. Do you remember 1999, Tommy, when The Rock became the most great heel of all time? And we are not even talking about Cody to become Heel. We are talking about a Cold Rhodes Avengative. So, when a fan looks at Cody Rhodes, yes, it can still be that Babyface, Tommy. But, however, when you enter, do you like, do you If you have eight, nine, 13, 14 years old, be a rude boy?
Meanwhile, the 51 -year -old talent indicated that WWE's undisputed champion sales would not be affected by the proposed character change:
“That's why I like the avengeing side of Cody Rhodes. You can still sell all the merchandise, as you said, but I think you can make the merchandise evolve and have, instead of the smile and the three -piece suit, a face like this (angry face). You can do all that and you have much more with what to work if you are the creative team, if you are the vindictive cody instead of the babyface.” (From 00:23 to 01:16)
