Cody Rhodes is being booed relentlessly now and the only way to save him is to turn him heel. Do you remember a few years ago when Roman Reigns was relentlessly booed by the WWE Universe? Reigns was in every championship match, was being pushed constantly and fans hated it. So…what did the WWE do about it. They turned Reigns heel. Still pushed him as the moan star, gave him the title for a record run, and is squashing every wrestler in his path. Yet somehow, Reigns is being cheered more than ever.

Making Rhodes a heel and giving him the best faction in AEW is the best way to make Rhodes cheered again. I would team him up with newly fired Authors of Pain and Buddy Matthews. Rhodes needs a real team and they were running the Nightmare Family faction I wasn’t invested.

I’d book it like this:

Rhodes starts losing for a couple of weeks.

Getting jumped by wrestlers left and right

Goes on some crowd yelling promos where you see he’s frustrated.

He gets into a massive fight with Arn Anderson and quits the Nightmare Family

Leaving Arn to continue the group and build up the rest of the team

Rhodes goes away for few weeks and is seen going to prisons.

To end Dynamite, we see Rhodes shaking hands with Paul Ellering

Next week we have the current champ being jumped by the trio in the ring and Rhodes slowly walks out and holds up the belt.

That’s how I would start Rhode’s heel turn and his mission would be destroying all other factions in AEW.

So what do you think? And how would you help make Rhodes a fan favorite again?
