“He is the bad guy all along,”- WWE Universe goes crazy as Cody Rhodes acknowledges online memes and warns going full Homelander against Bloodline member on Raw

Cody Rhodes has been on a roll lately. After the actions of The Rock last week, The American Nightmare delivered a bold promo this week on Raw. He went on to spit fire as he made some audacious remarks against The People’s Champion. Rhodes surprisingly referenced the name of the popular superhero villain, Homelander.

The Royal Rumble winner was interrupted by Bloodline member Paul Heyman. The two had a verbal encounter where Cody Rhodes delivered a stern warning to The Wise Man. He warned Heyman, telling him not to act overly smart with his words, as the 38-year-old would channel his inner Homelander and ambush the Bloodline member.

They are booing you, and I'm about to go full Homelander and rip your throat out alright, so get to the point.

Cody Rhodes to Paul Heyman on Raw

For context, Homelander is a popular superhero villain from the series ‘The Boys’. He is known for being a villain who portrays himself as the American hero. However, he is an extremely brutal villain who has no remorse for killing people. In WWE, Rhodes is also portrays the white-collar American hero. Therefore, this stern warning to Heyman foreshadows that he might take the other way if The Bloodline tries to get on his nerves.

Moreover, The Rock has been a big antagonist in this storyline. Recently, The Brahma Bull mentioned Rhodes’ mother, which was a personal attack by the star. Therefore, the former Intercontinental Champion went unhinged this week on Raw. It is going to be interesting to see how The Bloodline will react to these bold words from Roman Reigns‘ challenger at WrestleMania.
