BULLY RAY-WWE UPDATE

By Dave Scherer on 2015-07-23 13:49:05

I have gotten a few emails concerning a story that have been going around the net about Bully Ray’s relationship with WWE. Let me preface this by saying I have not seen the original story so I can’t comment on what was said.

What I can tell you is this. When NXT toured Philadelphia, PA and Albany, NY on May 15 and 16, the WWE office contacted Bully to come in and work the weekend. He agreed but before the shows, he suffered an injury to his ear drum and called the office and told them he couldn’t work the events because he didn’t want have bad matches, as the injury was affecting his equilibrium. From what I was told, the office appreciated the heads up and understood the situation, and that was the extent of the situation.

Apparently the online story states that WWE chose not to use Bully Ray due to him working the week before as a special referee for TNA, but I have been told that is not the case.
