Cody Rhodes has been the face of WWE. He has been representing the company for over a year and has become the mainstay of the promotion. Although he is beloved by the WWE Universe, there is a small portion of fans who laud him for his heel turn. The American Nightmare finally responded to these statements in his recent interviews.

Speaking on The Pivot, the Undisputed Champion admitted that being an antagonist is a difficult thing in WWE today. He went on to say that to become a top heel, a person needs to go all out with his antics. The American Nightmare said that if he attempts such a move at this point in his career, he is likely to get canceled, or else people might grow bored of him.

There's a growing section of fans that wants to see that happen for me at some point. I understand the links, but I don’t really know if they know what they’re asking for though. If you’re really wishing for that, it’s scorched earth.

Moreover, he praised The Rock for such a huge character change at such a point in his career. Rhodes said that the Final Boss had to go to extreme heights to get the heat from the fans. Even though he couldn’t get that heel heat from the fans. Therefore, if he, as the Undisputed Champion, needs to sell merchandise and send people home happy, turning into a bad guy cannot be the move.

Besides, Cody Rhodes also praised the top villains in WWE, such as JBL. Furthermore, the 39-year-old star is involved in a heated feud with the Bloodline. He is set to take on the faction alongside Kevin Owens and Randy Orton at Money in the Bank. The American Nightmare has been working as a locker room leader currently and has been pretty impressive with his work as of late.

Cody Rhodes has been long compared with the popular character ‘Homelander‘. Fans often draw similarities between the two and even plan fantasy bookings of the American Nightmare as the character. Recently, the Undisputed Champion was featured in the promo for ‘The Boys’.

The 39-year-old star shared the clip with his fans. He wrote that the ‘Homelander’ has met his ‘Nightmare’. The video shows the American Nightmare standing with a laser in his eyes, looking to cause mayhem. This clip has been generating a lot of buzz on the internet, as fans are impressed with this new avatar of Rhodes.

Moreover, it was a pretty intriguing clip to see for the fans of both ‘The Boys’ and WWE. The next PLE Money in the Bank is also going to be sponsored by the TV show. It is going to be interesting to see if there can be any collaboration between the two in the near future on WWE TV as well.
