WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio to talk about a number of topics including being uncertain about Jack Perryโs run as a heel.
Ray said, โI wouldโve thought because CM Punk put his hands on Jungle Boy first, that gave Jungle Boy has a reason to be the babyface in this whole situation.โ โAnd Jungle Boy could come out and say, โYeah, Punk approached me, we were having a conversation. I might have said something that the veteran didnโt like; I wasnโt trying to be intentionally disrespectful, but then he pushed me. I had no recourse โ I had to try and fight back. I had to try and do something. And the reason I tried to do something, at the end of the day, is because I really love AEW, and I appreciate this company, and Tony has given me a chance.’โ
On Perry needing to be a babyface:
โGo over, over the top babyface with this.โ โNow you got something. The kid defended the company. You gonna make him a heel? First thing I wanna chant at him is โCM Punk.’โ
