Kevin Nash thinks Cody Rhodes should turn heel, but only after he wins the WWE Title.

The WWE Hall Of Famer told fans tuning into his 'Kliq This' show that "the money is always gonna be with the babyface chasing the belt". So, once Cody's journey is complete and he's clutching one (or both) of WWE's top prizes, Nash reckons Rhodes should turn his back on fans and become a villain.

Kev likened this to Paul Orndorff's friction with former on-screen pal Hulk Hogan back in the 1980s; Orndorff didn't go on to become champion, but that heaped some fuel onto his frustration with Hulk and ended up fracturing their friendship.

'Big Sexy' thinks WWE's writers could lift some aspects of that story for Cody's own tale. He's obviously not friendly with Roman Reigns on TV, but going to the dark side because he's so consumed by an obsessive need to become champ is a workable narrative for Rhodes in 2023.

Most fans believed that Cody would win the Undisputed WWE Universal Title from Reigns at WrestleMania 39, but WWE went with Roman winning instead.
