Bully Ray likes the idea of a couple of future opponents for John Cena in Cody Rhodes and Ron Killings. Cena will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk at Night of Champions after Punk confronted him on this week’s Raw, and Bully talked about other potential challengers on Busted Open Radio. You can see highlights below, per Wrestling Inc):

On Rhodes deserving the next title shot: “If you follow what’s going on in wrestling and the rules, Cody Rhodes deserves the next shot at John Cena because Cody Rhodes pinned John Cena at Money in the Bank. Maybe if Cody came out [on Raw], Cody would’ve got the match. Now Cody is not the next in line, we get Punk, now we’ll see what happens after Night of Champions and what they will do at SummerSlam.”

On Ron Killings possibly earning a title shot: “I love the idea of what we talked about yesterday of Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena at SummerSlam, with Cody stepping to the side and giving it to Truth. But I also love the idea of Truth because Truth wanted to be taken more seriously, of Truth winning the King of the Ring and earning his spot in the main event at SummerSlam.”
