On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson potentially headlining WrestleMania 40 against Roman Reigns over Cody Rhodes, who he believes deserves a rematch against The Tribal Chief.
The Rock made his WWE return this past month on SmackDown and expressed his desire to be on the WrestleMania XL card.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On The Rock potentially headlining WrestleMania 40 instead of Cody Rhodes: “Personally, I believe Cody has earned the right to be the headline. Not deserved, earned, but Rock is the bigger headline … This discussion reminds me of the movie 12 Angry Men, where it seemed like the verdict was so obvious in the beginning, but by the time they got to it, and they actually discussed it and talked it out, the jury completely flipped.”
On how WrestleMania 40 will likely sell out even without The Rock: “But when you look at it from pure business, pure dollars and cents, how much more money can The Rock make for the WWE against Roman than Cody? Where is the significant amount more of dollars and cents going to come in? WrestleMania, physically, is going to sell out, right? Where are we … at what level are we going to make so much more money if The Rock is involved than Cody?”
WWE WrestleMania 40 (XL) will emanate from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA on April 6-7, 2024.
