Bully Ray believes a high-profile WWE Superstar should stay out of the world title picture for as long as possible.
Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray stated that 14-time Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair should stay away from the world title picture. He believes WWE should remain patient until Flair’s fan support becomes stronger before putting her in contention for singles gold again.
“I would keep Charlotte Flair out of the World Championship picture for so long that the people want to see her come back,” Bully Ray said. “And they cheer for her when she comes back. But in order for that to happen, I believe you need to build another Charlotte Flair, which ain’t happening any time soon.
“You’d have to build somebody that had a grasp on the women’s championship for so long, that they blew through the entire locker room, and basically it’s like ‘Who the hell can possibly stop this woman?’ And that’s when Charlotte steps up and goes ‘Remember me?'” [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
Despite returning as a babyface, the fans turned on Charlotte Flair when she won the 2025 women’s Royal Rumble. However, her current run with Alexa Bliss has helped her regain some fan support.
Bully Ray Pitched A Unique Storyline For LA Knight
Speaking on the same episode of Busted Open, Bully Ray came up with a rather unique pitch for LA Knight. He claimed that Knight needed a blood feud and suggested WWE should have someone injure The Megastar’s neck with a steel chair to make him lose his voice, believing it would gain him some sympathy.
Bully Ray then proposed that other superstars should make fun of him before LA Knight regains his voice and takes them down.
“You know what LA Knight needs? A blood feud,” Bully Ray said. “Take his voice away. Put the steel chair on his neck and take another steel chair and smack it into the legs of that steel chair and drive the lip of the chair into his larynx, crushing his larynx, so he can’t talk anymore.
“Until the time is right for somebody to make fun of him and go, ‘You can’t even talk, you can’t even talk, all you’ve got is the people talking for you, here watch,’ and then the people go, L… A… Knight…’ and out of nowhere, LA Knight goes, ‘Yeah.’ And he talks for the first time again.
“The people would f**king blow, LA Knight starts blowing a comeback, and you’ve made a guy because we feel sympathetic for him, because he overcame adversity and he got his voice back.” [H/T: WrestleTalk]
