During this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) showed backstage footage of CM Punk’s altercation with Jack Perry from AEW All In 2023. The video, which had no audio, showed Punk approaching Perry and the two speaking for a few seconds. Punk attacked Perry, and the situation quickly dissipated.
After the footage aired, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray aka Bubba Ray Dudley shared his thoughts.
He said, “Before I put my weary head down on my pillow, I will pray to God for AEW, and I will say, God, I hope they popped a rating tonight. I hope something positive came out of this footage, or came out of tonight. Because when tomorrow comes, if that rating is not good, if they’re not back up to at least 800,000, it’s gonna be dogpile on the rabbit. And the rabbit is gonna deserve the dogpile.”
“This is not on the talent. This is not on the locker room. And most of the time, it never ever is across the board. It’s on creative. It’s on the booker. It’s on the matchmaker. This company needs help. At this point, I hope even you diehards realize that. There are lots of people who wanna help. I’ve gone on record to say I would help for free. And if you think that’s me politicking for a job when I just performed in front of 72,000 people as a special guest referee, you’re out of your f**king mind.”
