WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has shared his take on today’s professional wrestling scene, expressing concern over the apparent lack of major star power among main event wrestlers. While discussing last weekend’s “SmackDown” show and AEW’s “Double or Nothing” pay-per-view with Dave Lagureka, Ray noted that although some people enjoyed the events, he noticed an absence of true “megastars.” Ray pointed out that despite having talented performers holding main event spots, none of them rise to the level where fans can confidently call them the defining big names in wrestling, including Cody Rhodes, whose comeback he thinks might have been rushed. According to Ray, the wrestling industry right now is missing that top-tier charisma and storytelling that usually define its biggest stars. He emphasized that no promotion currently has a standout superstar who captivates the audience at the highest level. As a highlight, Ray mentioned that the most notable story from the weekend was Trick Williams winning the TNA World Title, calling it an unprecedented moment.
Fan Take: This observation from Bully Ray shines a light on a critical issue in wrestling today — the need for clear, compelling stars who can carry the business forward. For WWE fans, it signals a crucial moment for the company to develop or promote talent that can truly become iconic, ensuring wrestling maintains its excitement and cultural relevance.
