10 Unlikely Outside Bets To Join Bray Wyatt’s New WWE Stable

Cody Rhodes returned to WWE a superstar, with plans to capture the WWE Title that always eluded his father. Sadly, a torn pectoral muscle has, temporarily at least, derailed that American dream. So what now? Even without Vince’s trademark intonation, “plans change pal” remains as true today as it ever was.

Cody has long since claimed he will never turn heel, even after AEW fans began to turn on him. His WWE comeback saw him positioned as very much the babyface hero in his trilogy opposite heel Seth Rollins. At the time, it felt like the WWE system was so broken that they could only get a star by buying one in, and Rhodes seemed the obvious choice to finally defeat Roman Reigns. Now, however, Triple H is slowly building up credible challengers for “The Head Of The Table.

Will the Cody who returns from injury find the landscape has changed around him and other people have taken his spot as the company’s top babyface? If so, will it be the motivation he needs to embrace a more literal interpretation of “The American Nightmare”? All his former protestations would only make a heel turn to align with Bray even more shocking. And Cody does have experience under a mask should that prove necessary.
