Bully Ray voiced his frustrations with how Penta came to CM Punk’s rescue during WWE Night of Champions on a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio.”
“Here’s CM Punk, and he needs help, and you, Penta, were standing in the back, and you saw the screen and you were like: my God! CM Punk needs help! Somebody hit my music so I can go help CM Punk! But I’m gonna high five, and I’m gonna look at the people, and I’m gonna do all this other s**t before I get there…You take me out of the moment!” Bully expressed. The veteran then looked back at the most “memorable” person to do exactly the same thing, recalling Jeff Hardy’s AEW debut, where he danced his way down the ramp instead of running to his brother’s aid immediately, which has since become a meme amongst wrestling fans. “What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong! Penta?
Out of the moment! The referee holding the table?
Criticizing Penta’s entrance timing
Out of the moment! I want to be fully immersed in the moment!” Bully further expressed, adding that he doesn’t want to be reminded that wrestling is a work.
This sentiment echoed the frustrations of many fans who feel that such moments disrupt the suspension of disbelief crucial to professional wrestling. Many have criticized WWE Night of Champions as possibly the worst Premium Live Event the promotion has held this year, with lackluster finishes and missed booking opportunities. Bully Ray’s comments add to the growing discontent surrounding the event.
