Bully Ray Advocates for Cody Rhodes to Tap Out Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam
Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, is heating up as WWE SummerSlam, set for August 5, draws near with several exciting matches in the pipeline. The anticipated third showdown between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar is at the forefront, a rivalry that has attracted considerable attention from fans and fellow wrestlers alike. This decisive rubber match, initiated by Rhodes during last night’s episode of “Raw,” will settle the score following Rhodes’ victory at Backlash and Lesnar’s triumph at Night of Champions.
Bully Ray’s Bold Vision
The WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently offered insights into the ongoing saga during his appearance on “Busted Open.” Expressing a desire to see an unforgettable finale to the Lesnar-Rhodes trilogy, Bully Ray has made his prediction: “I think we need to see Cody Rhodes pin Brock Lesnar or submit Brock Lesnar.”
According to Bully, a Rhodes victory over Lesnar would set the stage perfectly for a showdown against “The Tribal Chief,” Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. Bully argues that such an outcome would solidify Rhodes’ standing in the wrestling world, giving him the leverage he needs to challenge Reigns.
Submitting Brock Lesnar
While Bully sees the merit in pinning and submitting Brock Lesnar, he seems to lean towards the submission outcome. This stance is given more weight as Bully and co-host Dave LaGreca discover a staggering fact: It’s been almost two decades since “The Beast” has tapped out.
Bully’s vision of Lesnar submitting to Rhodes stirs the pot for WWE fans and raises the stakes for Rhodes. If he could make Lesnar tap out, it would add a monumental notch to Rhodes’ belt and leave an indelible mark on WWE history. It would also deliver a compelling premise for his match against Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
“If Cody Rhodes is going to go on to face Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes is going to have to pin Roman Reigns or submit Roman Reigns,” Bully Ray said. “And what better foundation to stand on for those future promos when Roman says to Cody Rhodes, ‘What makes you think you can beat me?’ Cody turns around and says, ‘I’m the guy that pinned “The Beast.”‘”
As the WWE Universe eagerly awaits the SummerSlam event, Bully Ray’s thoughts provide a tantalizing possibility for this monumental match.
