We did have a source say the company is in love with him being the new face of WWE the way John Cena was as that white meat babyface. Everyone can get behind that, especially kids and parents. WWE is extremely happy with Cody Rhodes for the time being as champion.”

During the conversation, it was revealed that Rhodes’ stardom is similar to John Cena and he is especially loved by the younger demographic. Similar to Cena, Cody has a huge fanbase which includes kids as well as parents.

Rhodes is now scheduled to appear on this week’s episode of Friday Night  SmackDown. The Undisputed Champion will address the WWE Universe about his future post his win at the Saudi PLE.
