A Moment of Chaos in the WWE Front Office
In a recent interview, Bully Ray (aka Bully Ray, formerly Devon in TNA), a veteran wrestler with over two decades of experience, looked back at some of the most unforgettable moments of his career. One incident that still stands out, and has become a legendary tale within the WWE, is the time he accidentally dropped then-WWE boss Vince McMahon on his head during a Raw taping.
Bully Ray recalled the incident in a recent interview, stating, “I was trying to be a show-off, and I got a little too aggressive with Vince. I was setting him up for a move, and I think I might have miscalculated the distance. The next thing I knew, Vince was on his head, staring up at me with this look of shock and anger. I was mortified.”
The Fallout: A ‘Receipt’ on SmackDown
The incident had serious consequences, not just for Bully Ray but also for Vince McMahon. According to sources close to the WWE, the incident led to a heated discussion between the two, with Vince McMahon expressing his displeasure at Bully Ray’s actions.

The ‘receipt’ for that incident was delivered on the following SmackDown, where Bully Ray was subjected to a brutal beating at the hands of The Authority. “It was a wake-up call for me,” Bully Ray admitted. “I realized that Vince McMahon was not a person to be trifled with, and that my actions had consequences.”
