Bully Ray has compared the main event scene in WWE to a chess match, following the return of The Rock on this week’s episode of RAW.
The Brahma Bull appeared during the ‘Day 1’ edition of Monday Night RAW and teased confronting his cousin and Head of the Table, Roman Reigns.
This has raised questions among fans as to whether The Rock will challenge Reigns at WrestleMania 40, a spot many expected to be filled by Cody Rhodes.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray spoke about how the Great One’s return could significantly change plans. He said,
“[The main event landscape] is a very interesting, I say, internal chess match of, ‘If we do this, then this. And if we do this, then when do we do this? But if we do it then, will the people lose faith?’ [CM] Punk wins the Rumble, chooses Seth [Rollins to face at WrestleMania]. I think that’s what the majority of the people want to see. So I think we can take Punk and Seth out of the equation, which leaves us Randy, Roman, possibly Rock, because we don’t know if what The Rock says pertains to WrestleMania. He said ‘head of the table.’ That could happen at Royal Rumble. That could happen at Elimination Chamber. That could happen at WrestleMania. So Cody, Roman, Rock, and Randy, there’s your [main] four, and where do they go, when and why.”
Ray added that if Roman Reigns vs. The Rock is the plan, then Randy Orton should dethrone Reigns as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at the Royal Rumble 2024 pay-per-view event.
From there, Reigns would face his cousin at WrestleMania 40 while Rhodes would dethrone his former mentor to ‘finish the story’ in Philadelphia, PA.
