WWE veteran Ron Killings announced the conclusion of his extended comedic feud with Cody Rhodes, hinting at a potential new partnership between them. In a recent appearance on The Wrestling Classic podcast, Killings revealed that both competitors have settled their differences, setting the stage for a surprising development involving a tag team called ‘The American Truth.’
Killings explained,
“Me and Cody have made a truce,”
and added,
“If you interview Cody, you just say, ‘Huh? Truth says you owe him one.’ He’ll know exactly what you’re talking about… he owes me.”
A Shift from Comedy to Collaboration Behind the Scenes
Their interactions, once characterized by slapstick humor and wild backstage antics, have evolved into mutual respect, sparked by a private off-camera discussion. When asked to confirm the authenticity of this new alliance, Killings cryptically replied,
“Suntan Superman to the rescue. The game of Tom and Jerry is over. Me and Cody together—we better be tagging.”
This statement underscores a significant change in their dynamic, moving from playful rivalry to potential teamwork.
Introducing the ‘American Truth’ Tag Team Concept
The podcast host, Justin Dhillon, referenced the proposed tag team name, prompting Killings to confirm, “Yes.” The moniker ‘The American Truth’ perfectly blends their personas and hints at a new creative direction WWE might explore. Whether forming a long-term tag team or preparing for an explosive storyline, this name anchors their future together.
Teasing a Shocking Cody Rhodes Heel Turn
One of the most intriguing revelations came when Killings recounted a storyline idea he pitched directly to Rhodes: a dramatic betrayal that could anger fans and redefine Rhodes’ character. Killings shared,
“I told him, ‘Bro, if you want the world mad at you, turn on me, dog. I dare you.’”
He elaborated,
“When the time is right… you get beat up and you tag me, and I’ll turn on you—that was the scenario.”
This concept envisions Killings becoming the catalyst for a darker “Homelander Cody” persona, a transformation eagerly anticipated by the WWE audience. The host even noted how this could be the perfect trigger for a compelling Cody Rhodes WWE heel turn.
Future Storylines Could Reshape WWE Programming
The relationship between Ron Killings and Cody Rhodes has been a highlight of recent WWE shows, combining humor with genuine fan interest. Whether the ‘American Truth’ emerges as a full tag team or Rhodes shocks fans by betraying Killings, the groundwork is laid for significant narrative developments.
Fans should watch closely for how these evolving storylines might impact the WWE Universe and redefine both performers’ careers.
