In the latest episode of RAW, Cody Rhodes stirred the wrestling world with a fiery promo aimed at none other than The People’s Champion, The Rock.
Cody’s verbal barrage included labeling The Rock not just as a heel, but as an “a**hole,” sparking intense reactions across the WWE universe.
Reflecting on Cody’s promo, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his perspective on the Busted Open podcast.
Ray felt that while Cody’s delivery was impactful, there was a missed opportunity to delve deeper.
Specifically, Ray suggested that Cody could have highlighted The Rock’s prolonged absence from the ring and how he seemed out of shape during his recent encounter with Jinder Mahal on RAW.
“When he [Cody Rhodes] mentioned, ‘You haven’t been in the ring in 10 years,’ that’s where he should have brought the insider term of ‘blowing The Rock up,'”
Ray elaborated.
“I’m going to drag you into deep water, I’m going to have you breathing heavy, I’m going to beat you up, I’m going to blow you up, and I’m going to expose you for the fraud that you are.”
The Rock’s return to RAW earlier this year marked a significant moment, as he confronted Jinder Mahal and hinted at a potential feud with Roman Reigns, setting the stage for dramatic developments in the WWE narrative.
As the storyline unfolds, The Rock’s partnership with Reigns poses a formidable obstacle to Cody Rhodes’ aspirations.
Their clash at WrestleMania XL promises high stakes, with Cody teaming up with Seth Rollins to challenge The Rock and Reigns.
Should The Bloodline emerge victorious, the subsequent WWE Universal title match on Night 2 will be governed by “The Bloodline Rules,” intensifying the stakes even further.
Bully Ray’s seasoned perspective offers valuable insights into the ongoing saga involving The Rock, Reigns, Rollins, and Rhodes.
With his keen eye for wrestling dynamics, Ray continues to enrich the discourse surrounding WWE’s evolving narratives through platforms like the Busted Open podcast.
