WWE’s newest reality competition series, WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats), hasn’t even premiered yet, but things are already getting heated. In a preview clip posted to WWE’s YouTube page, Bully Ray wasted no time putting one of the show’s prospects, BJ Ray, in check after a tense exchange in front of the coaches.
BJ Ray, who clearly wasn’t shy about making an impression, kicked things off by addressing Bully Ray directly, feeling slighted over their first interaction.
“When I first got here to this LFG or whatever’s going on in this place, I reached out my hand to Bubba to shake his hand. I felt completely disrespected. So, Bubba, here’s the reality. I’m not gonna sit here like one of these little soy boys with my tail tucked between my legs. Nah, bro, I ain’t about that. I’m about showing respect,” BJ Ray declared.
Bully wasn’t impressed. “That was really good,” Bully said. BJ, looking for approval, responded with “Yes, sir.” That’s when Bully shut him down.
“I’m talking, you’re not,” he snapped before dismantling BJ’s whole approach. “As if you had some kind of legit issue with me. See, not only am I a successful professional wrestler, I’m a professional psychologist and poker player.”
BJ fired back, refusing to back down. “Look at you, Bubba, on your high horse.”
Bully wasn’t having it. “This is not a high horse. I’m in two Hall of Fames and I have more championships than you have shower time,” he shot back.
BJ, still unfazed, responded, “Cool, I’m glad that defines you, Bubba. I’m glad that defines you, Bubba.”
Bully, unimpressed, doubled down. “So I’m glad that what you think is going to work for you. You’re doing, so maybe you wanna think about the attitude moving forward during this show.”
BJ, clearly still fired up, responded, “All right, I’ll chew on it.” Bully’s final words? “Chew on it really good.”
With moments like this already happening before the show’s official debut, WWE LFG is shaping up to be one of the most intense reality series in wrestling history. With Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Booker T, and Mickie James overseeing the competition, the heat is only going to get stronger.
Will BJ Ray take Bully Ray’s advice, or is this just the beginning of even more drama? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
