Bully Ray Thinks Cody Rhodes Will Move to SmackDown in Jey Uso’s Place

Speaking recently on Busted Open, Bully Ray weighed in on the likeliest trade between WWE’s primary brands (per Wrestling Inc). With Jey Uso having moved to Raw, Ray thinks Cody Rhodes is the talent that will be tapped to complete the exchange. Ray thinks Rhodes would be primed to go up against John Cena at SmackDown in preparation to face Roman Reigns again in the future. You can find a few highlights and listen to the full podcast episode below.

On why Ray thinks Rhodes is headed to SmackDown: “Well, Cena’s gonna be on ‘SmackDown.’ Cody and Cena interest you at all? It’d be a hell of a final feud before Cody has to go on to Roman.”

On his prediction for the next beats in Rhodes’ story: “And now, that moment that we talked about a year ago when John Cena was leaving the arena and he called out Cody Rhodes, you looked at that as a passing of the torch. I said, ‘No, it was not a passing of the torch.’ If Cody and Cena spent the next couple of months together leading up into the Royal Rumble, you’re going to have some passing of the torch moments. You’re gonna have the ability to have that moment where Cena finally raises Cody’s hands and Cena gives the ultimate endorsement of, ‘WWE Universe, you’re looking at your next Universal Champion.'”
