On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed a potential match between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Cody Rhodes on the inaugural night of WrestleMania XL.
Ray noted that dream matches could be too risky for WrestleMania 40 in case Cody got hurt in the first bout, since he’d be wrestling The Rock, who hasn’t had a legitimate match in over a decade.
Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40 (Night Two).
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On potentially having Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock on Night 1 of WrestleMania 40: “Night one, you’re going to put Cody Rhodes in there with a guy, who I have the utmost respect for, but hasn’t been in a ring for 10 years?”
On why that could be a bad idea for WrestleMania: “If there’s a 1% chance that Cody could get injured, the guy that’s going to be in the main event — I’m not wishing injury. I don’t think he would get injured, but anything can happen in that ring, and we’ve seen it before, especially when the adrenaline is going to be running like it’s going to be running on night one. And to be able to control those shots are impossible at times.”
