  • 3MB Reunites As Raj Dhesi Weds Wife

    From 2012 to 2014, 3MB entertained fans as part of WWE progamming, even if the self-proclaimed rock band struggled to pick up wins. The group split following Raj Dhesi and Drew McIntyre\’s releases from WWE but now the band is back together.

    McIntyre shared a photo on X featuring himself alongside Dhesi and Heath Slater, marking a rare 3MB reunion. All three wore traditional Indian sherwani as they celebrated Dhesi\’s wedding to his wife Priya.

    This comes amid McIntyre\’s ongoing absence from WWE TV, and it is reported that he is not expected back anytime soon. He has been off television since his loss to Damian Priest at Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24. While his comeback date remains uncertain, many fans are ready to see the three-time former WWE World Champion back on screens.

    We here at SEScoops would like to congratulate Raj Dhesi and his wife on their marriage.

  • Date WWE SmackDown Moves To Two Hours Confirmed

    WWE SmackDown moved to three hours in late 2024, a move that many fans have taken issue with ever since. While the extra hour, in theory, allows for more talent to be featured, many believe it has simply led to filler segments and has left audiences facing \’viewer fatigue.\’

    A recent report shared that WWE would be moving SmackDown to its traditional two hour format very soon. During the June 27, episode of the blue brand, Michael Cole confirmed that SmackDown will be a two-hour show once more beginning with the upcoming July 4, episode. On social media, the USA Network threw out a graphic, also confirming the news.

    As for the third hour, that will be filled by a new series called \’The Rainmaker,\’ which is based on the best-selling John Grisham novel. For WWE fans, the move back to two hours is a welcome one, and it remains to be seen how WWE adapts to the change.

  • Blake Monroe Makes WWE In-Ring Debut At NXT Event

    The WWE NXT ring got glamourous at a live event in Fort Pierce, FL on June 27, as Blake Monroe made her in-ring debut for the brand. Monroe, who debuted in WWE NXT mere weeks earlier, defeated Laney Reid in singles competition.

    This wasn\’t just Monroe\’s in-ring debut for WWE, but her first match in three months. The last time Monroe competed, she was Mariah May an part of AEW. Her final match for the promotion saw her lose to AEW Women\’s World Champion Toni Storm at the Revolution 2025 pay-per-view.

    Now, May is Monroe and has already set sights on the WWE NXT Women\’s Championship. Her match with Reid will be the first of many as she looks to bring glamour to all of WWE.

  • CM Punk Is \’Basic Punkanomics\’ Ahead of Cena Showdown

    The Juune 27, 2025, edition of SmackDown fell 14 years to the day CM?Punk delivered his iconic “pipe bomb” promo, a segment that remains iconic to this day. During SmackDown, Punk delivered another standout performance ahead of his Night of Champions showdown with John Cena.

    In the ring, Cena was set to deliver a promo when fans were met with some all-too-familiar music, Cena\’s \’Basic Thuganomics\’ theme song. Punk arrived wearing a Chicago Cubs jersey with his own name on the back. Channelling \’Basic Punkanomics,\’ Punk delivred an entire rap promo that echoed Cena’s former persona, including calling Cena a \”Temu Maclemore.\”

    Punk vowed victory in their WWE Championship showdown, going as far as to call Cena the Drake to his Kendrick Lamar. As the hype builds toward Night of Champions, Punk has clearly brought intensity and flair back to SmackDown.

  • The Tide Has Turned: Mark Henry Feels Sorry for Big Men in Wrestling Today

    For decades, pro-wrestling was dominated by big men, often resulting in smaller stars being overlooked when it came to main event pushes. Today, things are very different, as stars smaller in stature continue to be presented with opportunities to thrive on programming.

    Mark Henry is a bona fide big man, and believes the pendulum has swung too far the other way. While big men were once shoo-ins for the top spot, Henry told Forbes that it\’s hard to be big in wrestling in 2025.

    \”I feel sorry for the big man in pro wrestling right now… The little guy is in power right now… they want to keep it that way. They don’t want the big guy to flourish.\”

    Henry gave the example of Wardlow, a jacked-up talent in AEW, many once considered as a sure-fire World Champion. Instead, Wardlow\’s role in AEW has diminished significantly as fans haven\’t seen him in the ring in months.

    It\’s not just in AEW where Henry sees the big man held down. While GUNTHER is the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Henry believes that Der Ring General has had to change himself to please others.

    “GUNTHER used to be a big dude. He used to be one of the monsters and then the world has talked him into, no, you need to be smaller.”

    Henry\’s time as a big man in wrestling saw him capture both the ECW and World Heavyweight Championships. Nevertheless, he feels a lot has changed in the business.

  • WWE Alum Win MLW World Tag Team Titles At Summer Of The Beasts

    Being released from WWE is rarely a fun experience, but two Superstars have wasted little time in making a splash outside the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. At MLW\’s Summer of the Beasts event that aired live on YouTube, World Tag Team Champions Magnus and Rugido were set to defend their titles against mystery opponents.

    Those opponents? The pairing of duo of Donovan Dijak and Bishop Dyer, f.k.a. Baron Corbin. The WWE alum, collectively known as The Skyscrapers, bested the champions to capture the gold.

    This marks the first reign of Dyer and Dijak as MLW World Tag Team Champions, and the 16th team to win the titles. Now, the Skyscrapers join notable former champions including the Lucha Brothers, the Von Erichs, MJF, and Lexis King.

    Dijak left WWE in June 2024 while Dyer\’s contract not being renewed ended his 12-year tenure under contract the following November. Now, both men are proving that they can stand tall outside WWE as the Skyscrapers have reached the top of MLW\’s tag team division.

  • Whatever He Wants: Mark Henry Reflects On Vince McMahon\’s Future

    Vince McMahon’s future may be uncertain but Mark Henry is convinced that things aren\’t all bad for the former WWE Chairman. In an interview with Alfred Konuwa of Forbes, Henry was asked about what might be next for McMahon following his 2024 resignation from WWE.

    \”I have zero idea, but I’m going to tell you something. If I had $7 billion, I would do whatever I wanted to do and nothing you or nobody else was going to stop me from doing it.\”

    McMahon has launched his own company as of late, 14TH & I, a private investment firm targeting buyouts and majority deals with a focus on sports, media, and entertainment. The name references the location of Capitol Wrestling Corporation—the predecessor to WWE run by McMahon\’s father.

    Later in the interview, noted that, from a legal standpoint, McMahon has not faced prison time for the allegations against him. With that in mind, Henry believes the door is wide open for McMahon to do whatever he wants next.

    “So he can do whatever he wants. He didn’t go to prison. The world is very forgiving.”

    Even if McMahon is not convicted or faces punishment related to Janel Grant\’s lawsuit, the court of public opinion is often harder to win over. Nevertheless, Henry believes McMahon’s wealth and influence make him largely untouchable.

  • Bryan Danielson Makes On-Screen Return At ROH x CMLL Global Wars

    Bryan Danielson continues to make appearances for Tony Khan, as speculation grows that an in-ring return will happen for the former AEW World Champion. At ROH x CMLL Global Wars, Blue Panther defeated Lee Moriarty, but was attacked by Shane Taylor, Carlie Bravo, Shawn Dean, and Moriarty after the bell.

    Danielson made the save alongside Hologram, Atlantis Jr, and Mascara Dorada. This marks Danielson\’s first on-screen appearance on AEW/ROH TV since losing the AEW World Title to Jon Moxley at WrestleDream.

    While this was his first on-screen appearance in close to a year, Danielson has been appearing more and more in recent weeks. The former World Champion appeared after the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, aligning with the Paragon for one night. The week prior, Danielson was part of the post-show activities inside Arena Mexico.

    Questions remain as to whether Danielson will wrestle again, but now he\’s made his return to programming. Whatever comes next, it\’s clear that Bryan Danielson\’s love for pro wrestling remains as strong as ever.

  • Bryan Danielson Gets Physical Again In Post-AEW Dynamite Appearance

    AEW fans inside the Accesso ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington were in for a treat after the June 25, Dynamite as Bryan Danielson made a surprise appearance. Things unfolded after Kyle O’Reilly suffered a brutal loss to Kyle Fletcher and was attacked post-match by Lance Archer. As O’Reilly was preparing to speak, Max Caster interrupted and issued an open challenge.

    To the shock of the crowd, Bryan Danielson made his entrance—seemingly answering Caster’s challenge despite still being sidelined with neck issues. Before a match could begin, Adam Cole stormed the ring and hit Caster with a superkick. Danielson quickly capitalized, locking in the LeBell Lock and forcing Caster to tap out within seconds.

    Danielson followed-up with a light-hearted message, claiming he had joined the Paragon faction and dubbed himself \’Kyle Danielson.\’ He followed up by asking for his theme music to play—prompting Final Countdown to fill the arena.

    Though Danielson remains out of action and has been since October 2024, this marks the second consecutive week he has inserted himself into a post-show segment. Danielson also made a surprise appearance at Dynamite: Grand Slam Mexico, helping save lucha legend Blue Panther in another untelevised moment.

    Questions remain as to whether Danielson will wrestle again after his gruelling previous match with Jon Moxley, but as his roles after the show continue to grow, fans remain hopeful that a return to the ring will happen.

  • Gage Goldberg: WWE Is A Backup Plan, Football Is My Priority

    Bill Goldberg\’s career in the ring will soon come to an end, but could his son Gage soon be lacing up his boots as a second-generation competitor? Speaking to Sportskeeda, Gage revealed if he sees a life as a WWE Superstar in his future.

    \”It\’s there. It\’s a backup plan for sure. Football\’s a priority 100%, but it\’s a backup plan. Football is my main plan, WWE is my backup plan 100%.\”

    Gage is no stranger to WWE. After appearing for his father\’s return at Survivor Series 2016, Gage would return and get physical in 2021 during Goldberg\’s feud with Bobby Lashley. Now, the football prospect isn\’t backing down from a WWE future, though football remains his goal.

    Fans can expect to see Gage at Saturday Night\’s Main Event, where his father will compete in his retirement match against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER. With gold and legacies on the line, Gage will no doubt watch intently as his father laces up his boots one final time.

  • Gage Goldberg: My Dad Could Wrestle Beyond Retirement Match

    Bill Goldberg\’s final match is set to happen at Saturday Night\’s Main Event, but will this actually mark the end of the WWE legend\’s in-ring career? Speaking to Sportskeeda, Gage Goldberg, the son of Bill, argued that his father has more than one match left in him.

    \”He definitely has the mindset and the mentality to be able to go for a longer match and everything, and two matches even, I think he is.\”

    While Gage believes his dad could still go, the elder Goldberg has been adamant that his July 12, showdown with GUNTHER will be his final match. While some believe that Goldberg being 58 means he won\’t be able to deliver a great match, Gage isn\’t worried.

    \”If you look at Gunther right now, that was my dad a couple of, well not a couple of years ago, but back in the day that was my dad. So I think it\’s a good challenge for him for sure, and it could be a great retirement match.\”

    Goldberg made his WCW debut in 1997 and quickly won over fans with his impactful matches and 173-0 winning streak. Now, he plans to make the World Heavyweight Champion his final victim, and take the gold in the process.

  • Latest On Potential New AEW Tag Team Titles (Report)

    AEW has plenty of championships to its name, but some more gold may soon be showing up on programming. Mark O\’Brien of Bodyslam.net is reporting that AEW has developed two separate tag team championships over the past 12 months, though neither is currently in use.

    Sources claim that the \’Intergenerational Tag Team Championships\’ have been created, intended for \’father and son duos.\’ This has reportedly led to more focus on team that span generations, including Christian Cage and Nick Wayne, though the pair are not related by blood. Similarly, the report adds that this title was why Billy Gunn\’s role with The Acclaimed was amplified, though the partnership with Bowens and Gunn has seemed strained in recent weeks.

    In addition to multi-generational teams, there was reportedly talks of actual father-son tag teams to be part of the title picture. This includes Ricky and Kerry Morton as well as Kevin Von Erich teaming with one of his sons, the report adds.

    AEW has also reportedly created Women\’s Tag Team Championships, a title that many both in and out of AEW have shown support for. In late 2022, Saraya called on AEW to create a women\’s tag team division, as well as a potential all-female show. Saraya, who competed in several tag matches as part of the Outcasts and later alongside Harley Cameron, has since finished her time with AEW.

    Between AEW, Ring of Honor, and its partnership promotions, championship gold isn\’t hard to miss on AEW TV at this time. It remains to be seen if more gold gets added to the show.

  • MJF, Alicia Atout Respond To \’Tiny Pickle\’ Jibe On AEW Dynamite

    During the June 25, episode of AEW Dynamite, Mark Briscoe had some choice words for MJF, especially when it comes to a certain part of his anatomy. In a jab at MJF, Briscoe claimed that the former AEW World Champion has a \”teeny tiny kosher pickle,\” which became a chant among the fans in attendance.

    Taking to social media, MJF claimed that his gherkin is nothing to mess with. In an all-caps post, MJF refuted that his \’pickle\’ is anything but big.

    MJF\’s girlfriend Alicia Atout also got in on the action. As someone who knows the longest-reigning AEW World Champion up close and personal, Atout provided clarification on MJF\’s \’pickle.\’

    MJF has never shied away from taking personal shots at others, but he\’s clearly not a fan when the tables have been turned. Fans can expect to see much more of MJF\’s feud with Briscoe, a feud in which it appears nothing, not even pickles, are off limits.

  • Matt Hardy: The End of The Hardy Boys Is Drawing Near

    Matt and Jeff Hardy have wowed and amazed fans for decades, but their time in the ring is coming to an end. During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Matt got candid about where he and Jeff stand in their careers, admitting that retirement is drawing near.

    \”We want a story — and the story of our careers, like this is… we know we’re not — we’re in our last few years and we want to make them as great as they can possibly be.\”

    Currently, fans can find Matt and Jeff in TNA Wrestling, where they recently held the promotion\’s World Tag Team Championships. On the podcast, Matt highlighted the efforts of TNA\’s Tommy Dreamer into making this run happen.

    \”Someone who is owed a ton of credit for it is the man that is here in this conversation with us, Tommy Dreamer. I want to give him credit because Tommy has put us in a position to succeed.\”

    After more than 30 years of revolutionizing tag team wrestling—from tables, ladders, and chairs to world title gold, the end of the Hardys is in sight. While an exact date is yet to be revealed, Matt and Jeff are determined to finish on their own terms.

  • Shotzi Grateful For WWE Exit, Wasn\’t Sure If She\’d Re-Sign

    Shotzi Blackheart\’s time with WWE came to an end in early 2025, but she is seeing the positive side of things. Speaking with Denise Salcedo, Shotzi shared her belief that this release may have been exactly what she needed.

    \”I get to go out and kick ass and do me again. Like, I’m not going to be sitting at home. I get to go balls to the wall as often and as much as I want. So, yeah, I was just excited to get out there again.\”

    While Shotzi is excited for what\’s next, she did admit to being sad that she can no longer call herself a WWE Superstar. While releases often take talent by surprise, Blackheart had an inclination that her days with WWE were numbered.

    \”My contract was coming up. So I knew it was either going to get renewed or it wasn’t. And I didn’t have much to show for that year. I was gone for 10 months due to injury, then had a short stint in NXT.\”

    Shotzi, in her own words, did not have much to bring to negotiations about a new WWE deal, but was also ready for a change. She revealed that even if WWE had offered her a new contract, she may have left the promotion anyway.

    \”I was tussling with the decision to even re-sign. I wasn’t doing anything. I wasn’t happy just sitting at home. I wanted to get out there and do what I love.\”

    Shotzi had crafted a speech to deliver to Paul \’Triple H\’ Levesque, but never got the chance to deliver it. In the end, WWE made the decision for her—and she’s come to see that as a blessing.

  • Jim Ross Is Cancer-Free, Planning AEW Comeback at All In: Texas

    AEW commentator Jim Ross is ready to get back to work after sharing that the cancer he has been battling is completely gone. On his Grilling JR podcast, Ross shared that his battle with colon cancer is seemingly at an end.

    \”The cancer’s gone, which I’m very happy to say. So you know, I’m blessed that my health has returned, and I’m feeling pretty damn good.”

    Ross has been off AEW programming for months while managing his health issues. With a clean bill of health, the WWE Hall of Famer is ready to get back to work.

    \”I’m tired of sitting at home, and I’m excited about the opportunities that await. I am feeling better. My plan is to be in Dallas for the big event [AEW All In].”

    Ross was the recipient of countless messages of support during his battle with cancer. On the podcast, JR highlighted the efforts of Tony Khan throughout this ordeal.

    \”He supported me wholeheartedly and I really do appreciate that. That’s the way a boss should act, should do—is take care of your people. And Tony Khan has certainly taken good care of me.\”

    With AEW’s All In weekend set for Arlington, Texas, Ross plans to be there—starting with Starrcast on July 11 and the pay-per-view event on July 12. While it’s not yet confirmed whether JR will be behind the commentary table, one thing’s for certain: Jim Ross is ready go get back to work.


  • George Kittle Eyes WWE Future After NFL Career Ends

    George Kittle is widely regarded as one of the NFL’s top tight ends but there will be a day when his time on the field is over. In a recent interview with USA Today, Kittle confirmed his strong interest in joining WWE once his football career comes to an end.

    “I would love to do WWE. I think there’s definitely opportunity within that world, and I would love nothing more than to be a part of it.”

    Kittle has made brief appearances in a WWE ring but has yet to have a match for the promotion. Even with experience to his name, Kittle doesn\’t plan on wrestling until he has proper training.

    \”I would only do WWE if I bought a ring and practiced my ass off for a while so I wouldn’t look like an idiot out there. I’ve been in a WWE ring like three times. I don’t know what I’m doing out there.\”

    With his charisma, athleticism, and genuine love for pro wrestling, Kittle could be a natural fit in the WWE Universe. With talent including Pat McAfee proving a move from the gridiron to the ring is possible, fans shouldn\’t count out calling George Kittle a WWE Superstar.

  • Kevin Owens Battling Numbness Amid WWE Injury

    Kevin Owens\’ neck injury is far worse than fans initially thought, and surgery is now unavoidable for the former WWE Universal Champion. Speaking on What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes, Owens revealed that months of pushing through the pain only worsened his condition.

    \”It sucks, but it is what it is. For months, I thought I could tough it out. The pain would come and go—some days were better, some worse.\”

    Owens had intended to \’tough it out\’ until last week when his injury proved impossible to ignore. Owens was faced with the somber reality that surgery isn\’t an option, but it is now essential.

    \”Everything caught up with me. The numbness, the weakness… it all hit at once. That’s when I knew—it’s not getting better on its own.\”

    Owens \”can\’t wait\” to undergo surgery but he didn’t provide a timeline for his return. Earlier this year, Owens shared that Randy Orton has put him in touch with the surgeon who saved the Viper from retirement due to back issues.

    It remains to be seen when Kevin Owens will wrestle again, but one thing is for certain: the Prizefighter is through taking his health for granted.

  • Logan Paul Explains Why He Didn’t Sign Fan\’s Rookie Card

    Logan Paul recently made headlines after refusing to sign what he identified as a fake rookie card at a fan event. On X (formerly Twitter), Paul explained his decision, saying he wanted his first-ever signed rookie card to be a genuine and meaningful gesture.

    Rookie cards—especially when autographed—can fetch thousands of dollars on the collectibles market. Given Paul’s star power in both WWE and pop culture, his authentic signature on a legitimate rookie card would be highly valuable. Recognizing this, Paul chose to hold off until he could give that moment to a fan who truly appreciates the significance.

    On WWE television, Paul has recently been aligned with John Cena, though the duo came up short at Money in the Bank. It remains to be seen when “The Maverick” will return to WWE programming.

  • Jordynne Grace Teases Weight Classes After Vital WWE NXT Win

    Jordynne Grace has been dominating in WWE NXT, and now the Juggernaut has teased bringing in weight classes for matches. On X, Grace made the argument after battling opponents of many sizes during the June 24, episode.

    Grace defeated Jaida Parker, Izzi Dame, and Lash Legend to earn herself a shot at the WWE NXT Women\’s Championship. Grace will battle champion Jacy Jayne at WWE Evolution 2, the second-ever all-female event in the promotion\’s history. Grace believes this could be her last shot at the title, an accolade that she has failed to win multiple times in WWE since arriving last year.

    As for Grace\’s ideas of weight classes, it remains to be seen if it goes beyond her post. While WWE has dabbled in weight-based contests before (see 205 Live), Grace\’s idea has yet to go further than what she posted on X.

  • Hulk Hogan to Open $7M Bar Opposite Madison Square Garden

    Hulk Hogan is opening a huge, 9000 sq/ft, $7 million bar opposite his spiritual home, Madison Square Garden. Page Six reports that the Hulkster\’s bar will be called \’Slam\’ and will feature a wall of windows facing the iconic arena. Slam will be filled with memorbilia celebrating the two-time WWE Hall of Famer and will feature screens playing some of Hogan\’s greatest moments. On Instagram, Hogan shared a copy of the report, confirming its accuracy.

    The spot is currently owned by New York nightlife vet Rich Rosen. Speaking to Page Six, Rosen shared how he waited for hours to meet Hogan just to pitch the idea.

    “I basically waited 5 hours on line to get two seconds with Hulk Hogan. I came with an 8? by 11? glossy picture of Madison Square Garden, and in the picture is our [storefront]… I walked up to Hulk, I dropped the picture in front of him.”

    Hogan called Rosen four days later to confirm his interest in the pitched product. They plan to open the sports bar, which will have three floors including a rooftop bar, in the fall. The bar will feature Hogan\’s \’Real American Beer\’ brand, though Hogan will not have a direct ownership stake in the project, according to Rosen.

    News of this bar comes after reports that Hogan and his beer brand were looking to acquire Hooters. While the Hulkster\’s legacy and future in pro wrestling remains in question, the controversial icon continues to make moves in the world of food and drink.

  • John Cena Confronts Fan Over Recording Without Consent

    John Cena tries to be respectful to all those he meets, but respect is a two-way street. A viral TikTok video from Fanatics Fest captured a tense moment where Cena confronted a fan who was recording him without permission. After the fan snapped a photo alongisde the WWE icon, they followed Cena and continued to film him, prompting the WWE Champion to respond.

    “I’m a big fan of consent. So if you would like to take a video, I’m a big fan of consent.”

    ? original sound – biig__c

    The fan quickly apologized and stopped filming, allowing Cena to walk away. But in a move that further highlighted his character, Cena returned moments later to speak with the fan again.

    “I’m sorry for walking away from you. Just take a deep breath. And I feel like I’m in a tough situation… I just know it’s kinda chaos back here. I’ll give you whatever you want, as long as you ask. I appreciate you.”

    Cena\’s response shows his maturity while also demonstrating that, he, like anyone, deserves to be treated with respect. Cena’s response, highlighting the value of consent, was measured, respectful, and a lesson in handling uncomfortable situations with grace.

  • Matt Cardona Attacks Shotzi, Steals Tank in \’Indy God\’ Feud

    Since her WWE release, Shotzi Blackheart has defined herself as the \’Indy God,\’ much to the frustration of Matt Cardona. The former NWA World Champion has threatened legal action against Blackheart and now things have been taken to a new level.

    In footage shared on X, Shotzi and Cardona can be seen arguing over who is the true Indy God, before an ally of Cardona\’s attacks Blackheart with a chair. To make matters even worse for Blackheart, Cardona, who served Shotzi legal papers, fled the scene on her signature tank.

    The pair will do battle on July 11, seemingly to determine who is the true god of the independent scene. With Shotzi\’s arm at less than 100% though, the advantage has to go to Cardona after this latest attack.

  • New NXT Heritage Cup Champion Crowned After Noam Dar Injury

    The June 24 episode of WWE NXT delivered plenty of action as well as a new WWE NXT Heritage Cup champion be crowned. Originally, Noam Dar was scheduled to defend his Heritage Cup Championship against Stacks. Due to an injury though, Dar was forced to vacate the cup and Stacks would face a mystery opponent.

    Stacks\’ opponent turned out to be none other than former ally Tony D\’Angelo and their match kicked off the second hour. The pair went for five rounds before Stacks got the win. This win came about as Luca Cruisfino accidentally hit Tony with a bucket, infuriating The Don after the match.

    This win marks Stacks\’ first taste of singles glory in WWE, though he is a former NXT Tag Team Champion alongside D\’Angelo. With several heavies at his side, it may be some time before anyone takes the NXT Heritage Cup from Stacks.

  • Cody Rhodes Says WWE Heel Turn is Coming

    Cody Rhodes has been the ultimate babyface since his return to WWE in 2022, but he knows that all good things must one day come to an end. Speaking at Fanatics Fest, Rhodes acknowledged that he can only be the top babyface for so long before fans get sick of the same.

    \”I do think we’re probably at the tail end of it though. Because there’s only so much someone can like you. I’d like to do it until the end of my career, but at some point it’s like, ‘Alright, all we do is cheer for him.’ Eventually, fans want to see someone else.\”

    Rhodes didn\’t have an exact date for when he\’ll stop being a face, and fans shouldn\’t expect a heel turn just yet. While such a turn is seemingly inevitable, Rhodes\’ run as a babyface won\’t end without a fight.

    “I think you’ve got a good solid year, maybe even three years, because I’m not changing until I’m changed.\”

    Rhodes claimed that \”if The Rock had it his way, I would’ve been changed already,\” acknowledging claims that WWE\’s Final Boss pushed for him to turn heel earlier this year. Though fans have time yet to love and cherish the American Nightmare, a darker side continues to bubble away within Cody Rhodes.
