BJ Ray isn’t holding back on how he feels about wrestlers getting emotional after big title wins — and he’s calling them out directly.
The WWE LFG star posted a video to Twitter on August 4, the day after SummerSlam weekend, blasting wrestlers who broke down in tears in front of the cameras after major victories.
SummerSlam Night Two ended with Cody Rhodes defeating John Cena to become Undisputed WWE Champion, while Night One saw Seth Rollins return from a fake injury to cash in on CM Punk immediately after Punk beat GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. BJ Ray made it clear he thinks crying in those moments is a bad look.
“Hey, yo, no, hey, yo, for real guys, we got to address something. Because there’s an elephant in the room I’ve been meaning to get off my chest and bro. After watching SummerSlam, all these people will win these big matches and they’ll win the title — y’all know who — and also they just start breaking down bro and cry like a little baby bro. They’re crying in front of the entire world, bro. Like nobody wants to see you cry bro. That’s so embarrassing. Like don’t be crying in front of the whole entire world, but you’re weak. You’re weak. You’re soft.”
He went on to say that if it were him, his reaction would be completely different.
“Bro stop crying bro… sorry guys, I really, really get fired up. I’m like bro, for real bro, just be pissing me off. Like if I was to win bro, I would, like, you know, hit a little yay real quick or something like that bro, but they’re supposed to be crying. For real. Shaking my head bro. Grown ass man crying bro over winning bro… just be happy and like go order some Domino’s or something.”
BJ Ray’s comments have sparked debate among fans, with some agreeing that wrestlers should keep their composure on camera, while others argue that raw emotion is part of what makes those moments special.
