Cody Rhodes vs. Shinsuke Nakamura street fight criticized for feeling like “a regular wrestling match”

As seen during the January 8th 2024 edition of WWE RAW, Cody Rhodes defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a street fight to close the show. During Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray criticized the match…

“What was ‘Street Fight’ about that match? This whole ‘street fight’ thing is bulls**t. It’s like a No Holds Barred Match. Dusty [Rhodes] was the king of the street fight. It felt like a regular wrestling match to me. Like if it’s gonna be Street Fight then throw everything out the window and give me a Street Fight. If the biggest pop of the night is the furniture there might be a little bit of an issue with the talent or the match.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
