Bully Ray Thinks Cody Rhodes’ Title Run Has Been ‘Underwhelming’

– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray critiqued Cody Rhodes’ run as WWE Champion, thinking it’s been underwhelming since Rhodes hasn’t had a mega heel to face. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on Cody Rhodes lacking compelling challengers: “He hasn’t had a heel like The Rock. Now I know we’re asking a lot, it’s difficult to come out of an angle that main-evented WrestleMania with a guy portraying the heel like The Rock was, and then find somebody who could be at the same level as The Rock. So you’re dealing with challengers who are heels but nobody who’s posing the threat that The Rock did … so underwhelming because I don’t think we’ve had the right mega heel.” 

On why his run has been underwhelming: “I love Cody doing the old school way, I love that Cody has the kids in his back pocket, I love that Cody goes above and beyond the call of duty for just about every fan that he meets, I love that Cody answers people on social media, I love that Cody shows up at people’s weddings … I love all that, but if I have to be honest and fair about an assessment about something, it’s a bit underwhelming … I think it’s underwhelming because of the lack of super heels.” 

Cody Rhodes last defended the title at WWE Bash in Berlin on August 31, beating Kevin Owens to retain the title.
