Recently, Brayden Ray, known as BJ Ray in WWE LFG, talked about his fierce verbal exchange with Bubba Ray Dudley on the “Muscle Memory” podcast. He also shared his admiration for The Undertaker.
Key takeaways from the podcast include:
Discussing his interactions with Bubba Ray Dudley and The Undertaker, Ray said: “Witnessing Undertaker praising my potential is indeed rewarding, yet, on the other hand, it seems like ‘Taker and Bubba were giving me a tough time. This is my real personality and it remains consistent. Therefore, I would not change it even for them.”
Expressing his respect for The Undertaker, Ray stated: “I hold immense respect for ‘Taker as he has always showed respect towards me. Despite Bubba’s attitude, I was not overly concerned. This industry thrives on authenticity and if one is not true to their core, they would stagnate.”
In another appearance at the For The Love of Wrestling convention hosted by Monopoly Events, Raj Dhesi, a.k.a, Jinder Mahal, reflected on his experience of losing the WWE Championship to AJ Styles on SmackDown in November 2017. He also conversed about his collaboration with The Rock.
Significant highlights from the podcast are:
Talking about his match with AJ Styles on SmackDown, Dhesi said: “The match was a remarkable experience. The moment when AJ pinned me was spellbinding. The British fans are incredibly passionate.”
On being uninformed about losing the title until the day of the event, he said: “Such unexpected changes are the essence of this industry and often serve as pleasant surprises.”
Regarding the ambiguity of WWE’s future plans post his title loss, he said: “They don’t pre-inform you as they themselves are uncertain about future occurrences.”
While speaking about working with The Rock, Dhesi stated: “Sharing the stage with The Rock was an incredible experience. Although I am comfortable with promos, facing The Rock was a little daunting, yet rewarding.”
