In a shocking turn of events on the latest episode of WWE NXT, Moose suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a rising star. The loss has left many in the WWE universe pondering the implications, and one individual who is not holding back his thoughts is WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray.
According to a source close to Bully Ray, the wrestling legend has been vocal about his concerns regarding Moose’s performance. “Bully Ray is not happy with the way Moose has been booked lately,” the source revealed. “He feels that Moose has the talent and charisma to be a top contender, but the WWE’s handling of his character has been inconsistent at best.”
Bully Ray, known for his no-nonsense approach to wrestling, has always been a straight shooter. In an exclusive interview with this publication, he expressed his frustrations with Moose’s recent loss. “I’ve been saying it for a while now, and I’ll say it again – Moose has the potential to be a game-changer in this company,” Bully Ray stated. “However, his recent loss on NXT was a step back for him. He came into that match with a lot of momentum, and to have it snatched away from him like that was disappointing to watch.”
Bully Ray’s comments are not just limited to the loss itself, but also the way Moose was booked leading up to the match. “Moose has been stuck in a rut for far too long,” he continued. “He’s been given a string of decent opponents, but no one that’s truly pushed him to be his best. You can’t just put a guy in a match against a rising star and expect him to come out on top without any buildup or preparation. It’s like expecting a car to go from 0 to 60 without any fuel – it’s just not going to happen.”
One of the biggest concerns for Bully Ray is the lack of direction for Moose’s character. “Moose has been a member of the ‘Major Player’ faction, but his role within the group has been unclear,” he noted. “He’s been given a few opportunities to shine, but they’ve been few and far between. It’s time for the WWE to take a hard look at Moose’s character and figure out what they want to do with him. Do they want him to be a leader, a follower, or something in between? Until they can answer that question, Moose is going to continue to struggle.”
Bully Ray’s comments are not just limited to Moose, but also the state of the WWE’s NXT brand. “I’ve been saying it for a while now, and I’ll say it again – NXT is in a state of flux,” he stated. “They’re trying to find their identity, and it’s not easy. They’re constantly changing up the roster and the storylines, but it’s time for them to take a step back and figure out what they want to do. Do they want to be a feeder system for the main roster, or do they want to be a standalone brand? Until they can answer that question, NXT is going to continue to struggle.”
The loss for Moose has sent shockwaves throughout the WWE universe, and it’s clear that Bully Ray is not alone in his concerns. According to a WWE insider, there are several individuals within the company who are also questioning Moose’s booking. “There are a lot of people within the WWE who are frustrated with Moose’s recent performance,” the insider revealed. “They feel that he has the talent and charisma to be a top contender, but the WWE’s handling of his character has been inconsistent at best. It’s time for the WWE to take a hard look at Moose’s booking and figure out what they want to do with him.”
As for Moose, he’s remained tight-lipped about the loss. According to a source close to the wrestler, he’s been working hard to bounce back from the defeat. “Moose is a professional, and he’s not one to make excuses,” the source revealed. “He’s been in this business long enough to know that losses are a part of the game, and he’s not going to let one loss define him. He’s going to use this as an opportunity to learn and grow, and come back stronger than ever.”
Only time will tell if Bully Ray’s concerns are valid, but one thing is certain – the WWE needs to take a hard look at Moose’s booking and figure out what they want to do with him. With a talented wrestler like Moose on the roster, the WWE can’t afford to waste his potential. As Bully Ray so aptly put it, “It’s time for the WWE to take Moose to the next level, or risk losing him to another company altogether.”
