Bully Ray Predicts Possible Finish Scenario for Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns

– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray broke down possible scenarios for Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, including a way to extend the storyline past WrestleMania 40 by having Cody’s ally against The Bloodline, Seth Rollins, screw over Cody Rhodes in the main event. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on Seth Rollins possibly betraying Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania: “I like the idea of Seth screwing Cody over because it extends Cody’s story. If they decided to have Seth Rollins screw over Cody, I wouldn’t have a problem with it because it would make sense. Once the story’s over, the story’s over. Now, we’re relying on Cody to carry the company for however long.” Despite this, Bully noted Rhodes winning at WrestleMania 40 would be great, but that WWE has a chance to extend the story and involve Hulk Hogan.”

On stretching Cody finishing the story further: “Can we stretch the story and in turn get Roman closer to Hogan’s record? Can we get Hogan and Roman in the ring with talking segments at the anniversary of Hulkamania? Can we get the championship on Cody at a later date in a prestigious match at a prestigious arena?”

On having Cody Rhodes finish the story at Madison Square Garden: “I still stand firm on my suggestion and opinion that Cody’s story needs to end where Dusty’s started. Madison Square Garden is the absolute best idea — the best place for this story to end.”

Reigns previously defeated Rhodes in the main event of last year’s WrestleMania 39: Night 2 after getting help from Solo Sikoa. Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns is scheduled to headline WrestleMania 40. The event will be held on April 6-7 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The premium live event will be broadcast live on Peacock.
