Cody Rhodes suffers SmackDown loss amid discussions of character turn

WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes recently competed in a Money in the Bank qualifying match on SmackDown, where he suffered a loss after Randy Orton interfered to prevent Rhodes from breaking up a pinfall between Kevin Owens and Johnny Gargano.

Following the match, wrestling veteran and Hall of Famer Bully Ray commented on the potential for Rhodes to undergo a ‘heel’ or ‘rudo’ character turn. Ray suggested that while Rhodes possesses natural tendencies for such a role, the necessary circumstances for a successful transition might never align perfectly with fan expectations.

Additionally, Rhodes has teased a role in the upcoming Street Fighter film, where he is set to portray the character Guile.
