Bully Ray Calls for WWE Showdown Between Cody Rhodes and His Former All In Rival

There’s a compelling saga unfolding involving Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Championship, and the tense dynamic between McIntyre and WWE SmackDown GM Nick Aldis. McIntyre, known as the “Scottish Psychopath,” acts out of deep frustration, while Aldis approaches McIntyre’s career moves with logic and reason, creating a clashing relationship. However, Bully Ray is less interested in seeing Aldis step into the ring against McIntyre and more eager to witness a captivating storyline between Cody Rhodes, known as the “American Nightmare,” and Aldis, recalling the magic they created during the original All In event before AEW was officially established.

Bully Ray shared on “Busted Open” that simply watching Aldis and Rhodes interact in the ring is engaging enough for him, even more so than a match with McIntyre. He reminisced about the unforgettable chemistry between Aldis and Cody at the OG All In event nearly eight years ago. Back in 2018, Cody Rhodes surprisingly ended Aldis’s initial 266-day reign as NWA World Heavyweight Champion, only for Aldis to reclaim the title a month later at the NWA 70th Anniversary Show. Aldis’s second reign, lasting 1,043 days, stands as his most notable achievement. Bully Ray believes WWE has the potential to recreate that special dynamic from 2018 and remains optimistic about the storyline’s impact as long as Rhodes holds the championship.

Fan Take: This story highlights the intrigue and drama WWE fans crave, emphasizing character conflicts beyond just in-ring competition. If WWE manages to revive the compelling narrative between Rhodes and Aldis, it could elevate the championship scene and bring fresh excitement to the sport.
