What's This About?
The post argues that Cody Rhodes should turn heel instead of Randy Orton, despite enjoying heel Orton, because fans refuse to boo Orton ahead of WrestleMania. It references 'last year' lessons where similar booking failed to generate boos for established stars. Key themes include fan psychology, wrestler alignment preferences (heel vs. babyface), and WWE booking critiques around SmackDown events.
🔥Why It's Trending
This post is trending amid heightened speculation about Cody Rhodes' potential heel turn following his recent title loss to Drew McIntyre and attacks by Jacob Fatu on SmackDown. Recent reports confirm WWE has no immediate plans for Rhodes' heel turn, fueling fan debates on alternatives like Orton. Timing aligns with upcoming WrestleMania hype and Saturday Night's Main Event in Montreal.
