It took several months, but Cody Rhodes finally settled his issues with Randy Orton by kicking him in the head to win their Last Man Standing match at the WWE Crown Jewel. And now the question is whether or not that means Rhodes will turn to the dark side. Discussing the situation on Tuesday “Lost Open Radio” Bully Ray thinks Rhodes isn’t completely gone yet. He believes, however, that Rhodes has let himself down and is now on the path to darkness.
“Randy expected that to be a question,” Bulley said. “Putting Cody in danger is something else. But I don’t think this is the point of no return for him. There’s going to come a point where we come to this show and we’re like, ‘That’s it. There’s no going back from that one. The blood is on his hands.” And if I’m a parent, I don’t want my kids to have anything to do with Cody anymore, because that’s not a good person anymore.”
The bully was in denial Rhodes act in Raw where he was trying to convince people that everything was fine and he was the same Cody Rhodes as before. After all, Bully believes that Rhodes is following the same path as a famous character who happens to come from the Star Wars film series that Bully often talks about.
“I think he’s full of maggots,” said Bully. “I think he says what people want to hear, just like he did what people wanted to see. Cody didn’t hit Randy for a reason, it was because in his heart he knew it was wrong. But then everyone and their mom questioned Cody. And we are allowed to question. I could have said, “Why the hell, why didn’t you quit?” If Cody had stayed true to his beliefs, I would have had a lot more respect for the character… I believe Randy Orton when he tells me that Cody Rhodes, the character, is at risk, just like Anakin Skywalker was at risk.”
