WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including Kamille’s AEW debut.
Ray said, “Great to see Kamille. High hopes for Kamille. We saw what she’s [done] in the NWA, brought credibility to that [women’s world championship].”
On Kamille’s lengthy NWA Women’s World Title run:
“Always nice when you’re a one-time champion, because that means you’ve never lost the championship before. I’m a 24-time tag team champion, you know what that means? That we’ve lost 23 times. We sucked.”
On wanting AEW to take time with her:
“I want to see Kamille get established first. I want to see Kamille established the same way Chyna was established back in the day, or whenever you wanna establish somebody and take them seriously. ”
On AEW taking so long to bring her onto TV:
“If somebody were to tell me that they hold off this long, because this was exactly the plan, I would’ve said you held off too long. Because Kamille’s been out of sight, out of mind for a while, and despite the fact that I was extremely excited to see her tonight — and a lot of people were — when she hit the ring, there wasn’t a tremendous response in the arena. Because the only real exposure she’s had so far is the NWA, and … honestly, it’s just minimum exposure.”
On Kamille’s future:
“Hopefully, AEW brings everybody up to speed on Kamille and what she has done, and her levels of credibility. And like I said, they establish her as a badass. Nobody should get their hands on Mercedes Mone, and I mean nobody. Not Britt Baker, not one woman in that AEW locker room should be able to lay a hand on Mercedes Mone, and if they get too close, Kamille should just kick their heads off the way she did to the Good Doctor, Britt Baker, tonight.”
