WWE legend on why Cody Rhodes didn't turn heel on SmackDown

Mark Henry recently discussed Cody Rhodes' rivalry with AJ Styles and explained why the champion didn't turn heel after AJ Styles faked his retirement.

Rhodes defeated Styles at WWE Backlash earlier this year but The Phenomenal One wanted another title match. He faked his retirement and unleashed a heinous attack on the 39-year-old to get another match. However, he failed to win the title once again in an I Quit match at Clash at the Castle last month in Scotland.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter in an exclusive interview, Mark Henry commented on the storyline and was asked if Rhodes should have attacked Styles during the segment. Henry noted that it wouldn't have been a good long-term decision for the promotion if Rhodes turned heel during his rivalry with Styles.

"It would have been something for a little while, but the wrestling business is not founded on a little while. Every time that you went with the cheap pop, it backfired. You gotta stay the course, tell the stories the way the fans like to tell stories." [11:50 – 12:08]
