WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) believes AEW is currently in a prime position to regain momentum and make a significant impact. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, he urged the company to seize the current “lull going across the wrestling business.”
Ray stated, “Last week, or the week before, I said to LaGreca ‘Now is the time for AEW.’ There is a little bit of a lull going across the wrestling business. If AEW is going to strike again, if AEW is going to take steps forward, they’re not giving WWE competition, so get that out of your heads. But if they’re going to get back to any semblance of what they were, now is the time.”
He pointed to a recent promo involving Will Ospreay and “Hangman” Adam Page as a key moment AEW should leverage. “And I thought this was a really strong promo. And if I’m AEW, I’m isolating this moment in time and throwing it on social media. I’m replaying it. I’m replaying Ospreay saying ‘People are starting to believe in us again, and it’s because of ‘Hangman’ Adam Page.’
Create an entire package around that moment. Tell the people who to believe in, because Will Ospreay did that for Adam Page tonight,” Ray advised.
