Amidst his status as WWE's golden goose and top babyface, Rhodes still believed that a heel turn was very much possible for him in the Stamford-based promotion."I love that all this data is available to fans now to be able to say, 'Hey, another year of record business.' And that’s a big thing with potentially, if I ever were to go, you know, the dark side, ever go, bad guy. It’s definitely possible. I feel like sometimes I’m too heavy-handed with how I say, ‘Oh no, it’ll never happen.’ Oh, I’m sure it’s possible."The Prodigal Son reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Championship from John Cena at SummerSlam 2025 and is still very much a babyface. However, as they say in professional wrestling, 'Never Say Never,' so fans should not rule out seeing Rhodes becoming a heel in the near future.
