On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray questioned whether fans should get behind Cody Rhodes if he doesn’t dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL.
Rhodes failed to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship from Reigns last year at WrestleMania 39.
Ray said, “You just don’t know that if you get to [WrestleMania] 40, and Cody loses, if you take all of the wind out of the fan bases’ sails, where if he loses, why do I still have faith? Why should I still care? Yeah, if he gets screwed over, it’s one thing. But are you going off the air on WrestleMania with Roman going over again? There’s enough of the backlash out there with Roman only working or defending the championship 11 times last year? Are we to expect people to stay that invested in a champion that is hardly seen, despite the fact that we understand that he’s an attraction and he’s a big deal? I think people would be like ‘Screw you, and your big deal.’”
Earlier this week, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a surprise return to WWE on the ‘Day 1’ episode of RAW, teasing his long-awaited dream match with Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
