During the main event of Sunday’s WrestleMania 41 (Night Two) pay-per-view event, John Cena, with assistance from Travis Scott, dethroned Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to win his record 17th World Title.
Scott previously injured Cody at WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto, resulting in The American Nightmare having a busted eardrum and a black eye.
While Rhodes got his revenge by hitting Scott with a Cross Rhodes during his match at WrestleMania 41, the distraction eventually cost him the title.
During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray expressed disappointment that Cody didn’t hit Scott harder as payback. He said,
“Cause Travis Scott was too much of a punkass to take the receipt. Let that go viral. I would not have any problem last night if Cody Rhodes looked like he was going to win that match, retain his championship, and then Rock’s music hits and a black cloud came over the stadium and out came ‘The Final Boss’ to do the final damage to Cody Rhodes, in which John Cena could have won his 17th title because that makes perfect sense. But, no, what did I get? I got Travis Scott carrying some bootleg Hardcore Championship, who doesn’t get receipted, but now to be inserted into the match, and one of the reasons why Cena won. If they knew going in that Travis Scott was not going to get smacked or wouldn’t take a smack or pulled out at the last minute, then they did wrong by Cody Rhodes.”
Cody is scheduled to appear on Friday Night SmackDown this week.
