#2 Why Cody Rhodes should remain a face: The former AEW TNT Champion does not want to turn heel

The AEW Executive Vice President has repeatedly stated that he does not want to turn heel. He claimed to retire before embracing the role of a villain.

Rhodes knows it is disappointing for fans, but he does not want to act like a villain on television while being part of the AEW community outreach group and father to a little girl.

However, Cody is a professional wrestler, and his words can hardly be trusted. He might declare a storyline retirement, like the one he attempted a few weeks back, before returning as a heel.


#2 Why Cody Rhodes should turn heel: A family feud with AEW star Dustin Rhodes

Dustin Rhodes is an ageless wrestler. He moves similar to wrestlers half his age, and his tremendous work ethic boosts any roster. However, his best trait is an inherent capability to produce a cathartic atmosphere in the middle of any rivalry or match.

What could pack more emotional impact than a villainous Cody Rhodes victimizing his brother? They have already delivered a high-spirited match at AEW's inaugural Double or Nothing, and another similar feud would undoubtedly be excellent.
