WWE star Cody Rhodes may have shown a more aggressive side of himself during his recent showdown with Randy Orton , but WWE reportedly has no immediate plans to turn “The American Nightmare” heel. The company could continue pursuing the darker and more aggressive side of Rhodes while keeping him positioned as a babyface, something that was evident throughout his match against Orton at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, according to PWMania. Reports are indicating that his character is not leading to a full-fledged heel turn, at least for now. During the match on WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event, he locked horns with Randy Orton. The wrestling soon turned into a highly personal encounter that quickly descended into a violent brawl, spilling into the crowd near Rhodes’ family before eventually leaving Orton bloodied. But this did not stop Randy Orton. He took advantage of Rhodes’ hesitation, hitting him with a low blow before delivering an RKO to score the victory. he violent encounter in Atlanta, which unfolded in front of Rhodes’ family, demonstrated how far the storyline can take his character while still allowing him to retain his heroic position.
