Bully Ray explains himself.
WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray appeared on the Countdown to NXT Halloween Havoc, and Ridge Holland confronted him. Holland confronted Ray again later in the show. When Holland attacked NXT Champion Trick Williams after his win against Ethan Page, Bully Ray made the save.
Busted Open then shared a clip on Twitter/X in which Bully Ray was asked to comment on his actions. He said that Holland's second interruption was too much. Ray also told Holland that he's not hard to find.
“Shawn Michaels came on Busted Open a week ago, and he was nice enough to invite us here to Halloween Havoc, to be a part of this, to give Busted Open even more of a platform than we have already. Put us on the pre-show, put us on the live show, basically let us do whatever we wanted. Ridge Holland decided to make a name for himself at our expense tonight. I understand the first time. Here’s an opportunity to get the world to see me if they didn’t know me. They already know who Ridge Holland is. So he did what he had to do. I let that slide. The second time, too much. That’s our time. Like I told him, you did it once, you did it twice, don’t ever let it happen again. End of the night, you saw what happened. Ridge decides to hit the ring, him and Ethan [Page] start ganging up on Trick. I could have swore that maybe Booker [T] or somebody at ringside, a couple guys from the back, I know it’s the end of the night, a lot of people went home, could have tried to at least help Trick. I got fans all around me saying, ‘Bubba, please help him out.’ What am I supposed to do? So yeah, tonight was enough, and you know how I feel about Trick. I thought Trick went out there and did a great job tonight, showed fighting spirit [and] got the win. Ridge, I’m not hard to find," Bully Ray said.
As of this writing, it is not known when or if Bully Ray will return to NXT programming.
