On a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray proposed an idea for WrestleMania 40.
He suggested a match featuring Cody Rhodes, Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns, and The Rock at the show instead of doing just a singles match.
Ray said, “The scenario is for the best interest of Cody. What if they leave the championship on Roman once again? They’ve been pissing the world off with keeping that championship on Roman. Let’s keep it going. Roman goes over at the [Royal] Rumble.
Cody wins the Rumble. Rock versus Roman at Elimination Chamber. Rock wins. Rock is your Universal champion. The match becomes Cody versus Roman versus The Rock at Wrestlemania.
Cody pins The Rock coming out of Wrestlemania. You now have two opponents for Cody Rhodes that he did not defeat. He never beat Randy [Orton]. He never beat Roman. You have two quality opponents, main event opponents for Cody coming out of Mania. I’m giving an alternative idea that I think creates some confusion going in. Makes The Rock your champion, which is complete shock and awe.”
