WWE is known for its captivating storylines and the twists and turns that happen as the road continues. This is headlined by shocking moments and surprise turns that happen at major WWE shows. However, the company is also known to plant early seeds for a dramatic change that can come in the future. Following the aftermath of the WWE Royal Rumble 2025, it seems a major change could be coming in the future.
This was witnessed in the high-profile ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Championship between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens. The match garnered huge reactions for its insane spots, physicality and jaw-dropping moments.
But seeing The American Nightmare aggression throughout the match and post match actions, it seems that a big change is coming for the current face of the global juggernaut.
Cody Rhodes could be heading towards becoming WWE’s own Homelander
At the 2025 Royal Rumble event, the heated rivalry betweenCody Rhodesand Kevin Owens came head-to-head in a physically tormenting ladder match with the Undisputed & Winged Eagle WWE title hanging above the ring. The match was a brutal sight that saw both men sustain multiple injuries.
However, the fans did notice Cody Rhodes being more aggressive than ever to put down The Prizefighter. Moreover, he countered KO’s last Piledriver attempt with a reversal drop, sending a bloodied Owens head first into the ladder which was a shocking sight.

Furthermore, The American Nightmare then climbed the ladder to grab both titles and emerge victorious. Interestingly, he is known to show sympathy towards his opponent after a brutal encounter. Instead, the final shot of the match saw Rhodes looking down over a beaten Owens, bolstering his victory, as WWE officials and Sami Zayn were helping him get back on his feet.

This was a possible heelish behavior that Rhodes doesn’t display very often. Moreover, during their last match atWWESaturday Night’s Main Event, Cody Rhodes delivered the Cross Rhodes to Owens on a steel chair to pick up a controversial win.
This along with his Royal Rumble conduct could be signs of Rhodes potentially turning heel in the near future and becoming WWE’s own Homelander.
