WWE megastar to shockingly turn heel for the first time in nearly a decade at Bad Blood? Analyzing the chances

The WWE Universe could be in for a ton of surprises at Bad Blood this Saturday, with several storylines twisting and turning. The card is stacked for the premium lie event in Atlanta, Georgia, and one match is tough to call.

Cody Rhodes will team up with Roman Reigns to take on The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. The two long-time rivals are putting their differences aside for the greater good, but perhaps the Undisputed WWE Champion has an ulterior motive. He could shock fans by turning on the OTC to reignite their feud, and the seeds have been planted.

The American Nightmare initially turned down the chance to tag with Reigns, claiming he wanted to be out of The Bloodline drama. However, he made a U-turn on SmackDown and decided to sign the contract.

He's made several heelish comments against the 'Only' Tribal Chief about beating him at WrestleMania XL. He might feel Reigns' return is overshadowing his run as world champion and he might re-open the story that he 'finished' at 'Mania.

Cody Rhodes was last a heel in WWE in 2015, but he's become one of the most popular babyfaces since returning to the company in 2022. Many feel he's showing similar character traits to Homelander from the TV series The Boys. That would be an exciting gimmick for Atlanta's own to use, acting as an anti-hero.

If the former AEW star were to turn on the Head of the Table, it could lead to a match at Crown Jewel on November 2. This time, Rhodes would be the heel, and Reigns would be the face in their third encounter for the world title.

Cody Rhodes hinted at major Crown Jewel match being revealed at Bad Blood

Cody Rhodes met with former RAW commentator Pat McAfee on Wednesday to promote Bad Blood. He commented on The Bloodline story and how he and Roman Reigns plan to coexist.

Rhodes' most intriguing revelation on the Pat McAfee Show was that a vignette is set to air during Bad Blood. He claimed it would have 'title implications,' which suggests fans might find out who his next challenger is.

The American Nightmare and the OTC recently met at Georgia Tech, the venue of this Saturday's PLE. They exchanged words that hinted that they have unfinished business over the Undisputed WWE Championship.

The promotion always goes big when it comes to PLEs in Saudi Arabia, and it wouldn't get much bigger than Rhodes vs. Reigns 3. Fans will have to see whether the Big Dog is next in line after Bad Blood.
