BJ Ray might be sidelined with an injury, but that didn’t stop him from stealing the spotlight with a ruthless promo in front of CM Punk himself.
The WWE LFG competitor, who was forced to bow out of the competition due to a shoulder injury, sat down cross-legged in front of Punk—mirroring the infamous pipebomb moment—and unleashed absolute verbal destruction on everyone in the room.
“You know, it’s kind of funny, ever since I got here, all I keep hearing is LFG this, LFG that, as if there’s any camaraderie here in this whole process. You want to know what’s crazy? Ever since I broke the news about my shoulder, not a single person in this room reached out to me, texted me. Especially you, Team Bubba. I would have expected the most out of y’all. I get it, everybody is excited that the No. 1 contender got eliminated.”
Ray didn’t stop there. He proceeded to pick apart his competitors one by one, showing zero remorse.
“You know Zena, you’re the epitome of stupidity. I know you probably don’t know what I’m saying right now, but I don’t have a box of Crayola crayons to draw a picture for you. You know Tatyanna, I see you shaking your head over there, putting your head down, I’m going to just move past you because I don’t need you crying for an hour after I say what I’m going to say.”
He didn’t hold back on Cutler James either, the man who replaced him in the competition. Ray made it crystal clear that James is nothing more than a stand-in and vowed to prove exactly why he deserved that spot in the first place.
With CM Punk watching firsthand, Ray delivered a promo that will be hard to forget. But the real question is—will he get his shot at redemption when he’s back at full strength?
