Bully Ray says WWE might pull off a double turn between John Cena and Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam but warns it’s tough to execute successfully.
Speaking on recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray how difficult it is to pull off a successful double turn in wrestling. “There are people out there, because of some Cody tweets that happened recently that believe Cody is going to turn heel, and John, they’re going to do the double turn.”
“As a matter of fact, I put a very subliminal tweet out there a couple of weeks ago, just acknowledging that a double turn is not easy to do effectively. It’s everything has to fall into place perfectly for that double turn to work because you’re asking people to completely take emotional investment in two people and flip-flop them. And we’ve seen it fail before. We’ve seen it work, but I think we’ve seen it fail more often than not.”
With fan speculation running high about WWE possibly pulling off a double turn between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. Bully Ray also explained why it involved a risk. “You take so much of a risk when you try to do it. Does the WWE have the guts to try to pull it off? We shall see. Do they have the guts to turn Cody heel? We shall see. Is it the right time? I have told you since day one, I’ve been telling Cody to his face since we shared a locker room in Ring of Honor, I said, ‘Cody, you’re a heel. Cody hates everybody. Cody’s a heel.”
Ray added that Cody Rhodes would make a great heel when the timing is right, but he’s unsure if now is the moment. “Cody is very much still loved by the WWE Universe. But is that the perfect time? Are we at the apex? Are we at the zenith of the love for Cody that they would never see it coming, and thus, we rip the carpet out from under them, and we take all of that love, and we turn it into hate.” [H/T: WrestlingInc]
Earlier this month, Cody Rhodes responded to heel turn speculations, saying the conversation mostly exists on social media. While he didn’t rule it out completely, he’s unsure if it fits into the time he has left in wrestling.
