At WrestleMania 40, the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes finally dethroned Roman Reigns ending his 1316-day reign. Since then, Rhodes has been successfully defending the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. However, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on Rhodes’ run as the champion.
While speaking on a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray shared that there is one thing missing in Rhodes’ run. That was the fact that he does not have a major heel standing opposite of him.
“He hasn’t had a heel like The Rock. Now I know we’re asking a lot, it’s difficult to come out of an angle that main-evented WrestleMania with a guy portraying the heel like The Rock was, and then find somebody who could be at the same level as The Rock. So you’re dealing with challengers who are heels but nobody who’s posing the threat that The Rock did … so underwhelming because I don’t think we’ve had the right mega heel.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
Old school way
The WWE Hall of Famer also mentioned that he loves Cody Rhodes doing his best as a baby face. But at the same time he feels the American Nightmare’s run is underwhelming because of the absence of a super heel.
“I love Cody doing the old school way, I love that Cody has the kids in his back pocket, I love that Cody goes above and beyond the call of duty for just about every fan that he meets, I love that Cody answers people on social media, I love that Cody shows up at people’s weddings. I love all that. But if I have to be honest and fair about an assessment about something, it’s a bit underwhelming … I think it’s underwhelming because of the lack of super heels,” Bully Ray said.
