00:00It's time for a Cody Rhodes heel turn, says WWE Hall of Famer.
00:05WWE Hall of Famer, Eric Bischoff believes the time is right for WWE undisputed champion Cody Rhodes to turn heel.
00:13Speaking on a special edition of the 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff was asked by a fan whether a heel turn for Cody Rhodes could be in the cards for 2026.
00:23Bischoff made it clear that he does believe it's coming.
00:27He suggested the change should happen naturally, rather than through a sudden shock moment.
00:32He said, I do.
00:34I'm feeling a little bit when I see Cody come out and hear him in his promos.
00:39I just, I think it's time.
00:41Not right now, not today, but sometime this year, I think it will almost become a natural evolution.
00:47Which is the way it should, instead of the, oh, let's come up with a dastardly heel turn.
00:52Eric Bischoff also added that he prefers long-term storytelling when it comes to major character changes.
00:59I like, as I talked about with John and Rock and all that, I really like a slow build.
01:05I want somebody to get me really sucked into the story before that happens.
01:09But I think it's time for Cody.
01:10As of now, Rhodes, who's a babyface, is currently set to defend the undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre in a brutal three stages of hell match on 9th January edition of SmackDown in Berlin.
01:25With the road to WrestleMania, 42 set to begin following the Royal Rumble, recent reports suggest WWE is currently planning for Rhodes to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, 42 in Las Vegas.
01:36Those plans could shift, however, as the originally discussed match between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins remains uncertain due to Rollins' injury status.
