Bully Ray was present at this year’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view event and had a major issue with one spot inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
During the WWE Title match, a huge bump resulted in medics and officials checking on Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens before Rhodes’ victory.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray shared why he’s not a fan of this particular spot. He said,
“You’re in a ladder match. This is what can happen in a ladder match. Are we setting a precedent now that in every ladder match, when someone takes a fall or two guys takes a fall, or something happens, that everybody’s going to run out to go ‘Hey, are you okay…”Just allow the match to just go on with both of the guys on. A ladder match, it’s kind of like a fight to the finish, a last man standing.”
Bully Ray’s co-host Dave LaGreca argued that it was necessary for officials to see if Rhodes and Owens were okay after this particular spot.
While Ray was okay with Sami Zayn appearing to check on his friend, he remained adamant that the spot didn’t need other people around. He said,
“Sami coming out to check on his friend Kevin. That makes sense. They’re showing concern. But everybody else showing all this concern, to me, [was] unnecessary.”
With his victory, Rhodes is expected to walk into WrestleMania 41 as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, his first world title match at the pay-per-view event.
