WWE Hall of Famer John “Bradshaw” Layfield vehemently dismissed recent online speculation, reportedly stemming from a “Russo theory,” that WWE and Triple H are deliberately “burying” Cody Rhodes by keeping him off television for a few weeks following his WrestleMania 41 title loss. Speaking on “Something to Wrestle With,” JBL drew parallels to past situations.
“Oh my god, yeah, yeah. I remember back, in the day, as they say, when we’re burying Daniel Bryan, he was on five episodes every single Monday night, Raw in Smackdown. Boy, that’s burying him. I wish you would bury me too,” JBL said sarcastically.
He emphasized the necessity of rotating top talent: “Cody been on everything. You got to cycle him in and out… for their longevity.” JBL firmly believes Rhodes’ position is secure. “Cody’s going to be fine. He’s he spearheaded the most profitable era in wrestling history. They’re not bury nothing for that cash cow,” he concluded.
