WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) recently appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio to talk about a number of topics including reports that WWE rejected bringing back CM Punk.
Ray said, “I’m wondering if Punk is actually gonna be at Survivor Series and this whole stuff … about WWE saying ‘Thanks but no thanks’ is a ruse.”
Punk being perceived as a toxic personality in the AEW locker room:
“I go by what my own eyes see and my own ears hear. I’ve heard plenty of people put him over and say he really tries to help.”
How Punk is a very misunderstood personality due to his brutally honest nature:
Ray said, “[I’m speculating, but] there is a chance that Punk is a very misunderstood personality. When you are brutally honest in the wrestling business … you’re normally in the ultra-minority, and people don’t know how to deal with brutally honest people in wrestling.”
