Bully Ray Weighs in On Potential John Cena SummerSlam opponents

Wrestling Hall of Famer Bully Ray has speculated on potential rivalries for John Cena leading up to SummerSlam, suggesting who should be next in line for a title shot at Cena’s Undisputed WWE Championship.

Cena is scheduled to face CM Punk at Night Champions in Saudi Arabia. Ray, on “Busted Open,” believes Cody Rhodes deserves a championship chance after pinning Cena at Money in the Bank.

Ray stated,”If you follow what’s going on in wrestling and the rules,Cody Rhodes deserves the next shot at John Cena because Cody Rhodes pinned John Cena at Money in the Bank. Maybe if cody came out [instead of Punk] Cody would’ve got the match. Now Cody is not the next in line, we get Punk, now we’ll see what happens after Night of Champions and what they will do at SummerSlam.”

R-Truth as a Dark Horse Contender

Ray also mentioned the possibility of R-Truth facing John Cena if he where to win the King of the Ring tournament.

“I love the idea of what we talked about yesterday of Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena at SummerSlam,with Cody stepping to the side and giving it to Truth. But I also love the idea of Truth because Truth wanted to be taken more seriously, of Truth winning the King of the Ring and earning his spot in the main event at SummerSlam,” Ray commented.

“Cody Rhodes deserves the next shot at John Cena as Cody Rhodes pinned John Cena at money in the Bank.”

The King of the Ring tournament has begun, with Sami Zayn advancing to the semi-finals. More qualifiers are planned, and the final will occur at Night of Champions, with the winner earning a title shot.
