Did WWE turn the wrong guy?
Randy Orton snapping on Cody Rhodes was the biggest moment on SmackDown, but the more I think about it… the more I believe WWE may have flipped the wrong switch. What if Cody Rhodes was the one who turned heel?
In this WrestleChop hot takes video we break down why a Cody Rhodes heel turn could have been a way more interesting story heading into WrestleMania 42 and the WWE Undisputed Championship picture. Cody has been the ultimate babyface for years now, but sometimes the best stories happen when the hero finally snaps.
We talk about how Randy Orton returning to his classic heel role works, but why a darker version of Cody Rhodes might actually raise the stakes even more on the road to WrestleMania.
Would a heel Cody Rhodes make the story better?
Did WWE miss the bigger opportunity here?
Or is Randy Orton exactly the right choice?
These are the hot takes.
And yeah… SmackDown had some huge moments tonight, but this one might change everything heading into WrestleMania 42.
