Cody Rhodes has risen from a mid-card attraction to becoming the face of today’s WWE landscape. Ever since he became the Undisputed WWE Champion, his career has reached unprecedented heights of success.
The American Nightmare has proven himself to be a top draw in every business aspect. Moreover, he has continuously delivered top-tier in-ring performances as champion becoming the top babyface star of the company.
However, as the road to WrestleMania 41 has begun, there have been speculations about a possible Cody Rhodes heel turn coming. While many thought that it would be Kevin Owens, whose ruthless nature and aggression would push Rhodes to embrace the dark side, a wrestling personality believed that another superstar could do a better job than Owens.
Which WWE superstar can possibly push Cody Rhodes towards a heel turn?
On the road to WrestleMania this year, The Best in the World, CM Punk is also trying to earn a main event title shot. He could earn the opportunity by winning the upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber after qualifying for the same on RAW after the 2025 Royal Rumble.

Moreover, his run since returning to WWE has garnered him loud babyface reactions, with Cody Rhodes also having the same role. This led to wrestling personality Bill Apter giving his take on the ongoing situation.
Speaking on the latest edition ofSportskeeda UnSKripted, Apter stated that if WWE decides to do CM Punk vs Cody Rhodes for the title at WrestleMania, the situation might change. According to him, Punk would embrace the role of a babyface, while Rhodes would becomeWWE’s own Homelanderin this spectacular feud.
If it just turns out to be Punk and Cody (at WrestleMania) which I don’t think it will be. I think, I don’t think it’s gonna be a mixed reaction. I think Punk is gonna be the babyface in that thing. That crowd, that WWE universe crowd cannot at this point get enough of CM Punk. He can do and say whatever he wants, they love him.
CM Punk has been a bonafide babyface in his second WWE run, with the fans siding with him over other stars like Seth Rollins. So the chances of the WWE Universe dissing the man with whom they sided to help him ‘Finish The Story’ last year, Cody Rhodes, are high.
What are the rumored plans for Cody Rhodes for WrestleMania 41?
The report stated that John Cena was planned back then to win the 2025 Men’s Elimination Chamber match and earn the opportunity to challenge The American Nightmare for his 17th World Championship. This will be Cena’s final appearance as an in-ring performer at The Show of Shows.
John Cenafailed to win the 2025 Royal Rumble match, which disappointed a lot of fans. But he declared himself for the match at the post-show conference, which will be his final chance to headline WrestleMania this year.

While CM Punk is also in the match, the roaring support for John Cena on his farewell tour could likely see him take the victory. But that still could mean that Cody Rhodes will turn heel in his feud with Cena leading up to their mega showdown at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
