Bully Ray Reveals His Hopes for the Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther Rematch, Wants To See a Shocking Moment

As previously reported, Sami Zayn will serve as the special guest referee in the WWE Undisputed Title rematch between champ Cody Rhodes and Gunther on this week’s Friday Night SmackDown. During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray assessed the new development and how he’s hoping for a shocking finish with the new stipulation. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on What He’s Hoping for in Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther With the Stipulation of Sami Zayn as the Guest Referee

“I would love to see something happen that shocked everybody. I would love to see a scenario in which Sami Zayn turned on Cody Rhodes, and Gunther was able to win, or I would love to see a scenario where, you know, if Gunther shoved Sami Zayn on his a*s and Sami helped Cody to go up. Anything that really intrigues me and makes me go, ‘Whoa, I can’t believe they did that.’ As opposed to, ‘Okay, I get it.'”

Bully Ray Doesn’t Recall the Last Time He Was Genuinely Shocked by a Wrestling Angle

“I don’t remember the last time we’ve come on [air and be surprised]. Maybe the show after Oba and Brock, but it was more about, ‘Holy ****, Brock retired.’ You know, we could come on and go, wow, that match was really good. We could come on any time on this show and pick a company and go, ‘Wow, that match was really good.’ But what was the last time you were like, ‘Holy ****.’ What was the last time we had a, you know, a Hogan joining the NWO moment?”

Regardless, Cody Rhodes defends his title against Gunther at WWE SmackDown on Friday, June 19. The event is being held at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The show will air live on USA Network in the US and on Netflix internationally.
