On a recent airing of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray shared his views on Moose’s journey in TNA Wrestling, suggesting it might be time for him to explore opportunities in other wrestling franchises.
Recently, Moose competed against NXT Champion Oba Femi at WWE NXT: Roadblock 2025, although he did not win.
Ray expressed, “Moose has been in TNA for a while. I think that Moose has maxed out his potential in TNA. I think it’s time for Moose to be exposed to new competition, to new brains in the wrestling business, to people who can teach him what he has learned so far. You just said that you thought it was Moose’s best match, [it is] because he’s stepping up to a new level of competition. He’s being exposed to somebody who can bring more out of him. He has a personality that still needs to be brought in him. I think Moose is a little laidback at times. I also think that Moose needs to wrestle for Moose.”
In another recent podcast “Going Ringside”, MLW World Champion Matt Riddle spoke about his experiences in WWE.
His discourse highlighted that although he found Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn challenging to deal with, he enjoyed collaborating with Sheamus despite his forceful way of competing. Riddle had teamed up with Owens and Zayn three times in 2023.
Riddle shared, “Hardest opponent? Hardest opponent in the ring? I would have to say Sheamus. Sheamus, easy to work with, hits really hard. So hardest in the ring. But, then when I think about who’s harder to maybe work with, I would have to say Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens… It’s hard to put a complete sentence together with those guys if you know what I’m saying… Very difficult. Sheamus hits ya hard, but it’s easy to put together.”
