Bully Ray Rips Death Riders as AEW Deadweight, Says He’d Beat Up Jon Moxley

Bully Ray isn’t buying what the Death Riders are selling — and he’s not shy about saying so.

Appearing on Busted Open, the WWE Hall of Famer unloaded on Jon Moxley’s faction, arguing that the group has failed to move the needle for All Elite Wrestling in any meaningful way. Beyond the critical analysis, Bully Ray went a step further, claiming he could physically beat Moxley up — a pointed statement from a man who spent decades as one of professional wrestling’s most feared brawlers.

The Death Riders have been one of AEW’s most prominently featured acts, with Moxley at the helm as AEW World Champion. The faction has drawn significant television time and storyline real estate, making Bully Ray’s assertion that they haven’t contributed to the company’s overall health a notable criticism. Whether one agrees or not, it’s a perspective that’s likely to spark debate among wrestling fans who are either fully invested in the Moxley-led group or frustrated by its dominance on programming.

Bully Ray has never been one to pull punches when it comes to evaluating the current wrestling landscape, and his comments on Busted Open fit a long pattern of blunt, often polarizing takes. Whether his words translate into any kind of on-screen angle remains to be seen, but for now, he’s put himself firmly on record as one of Moxley’s loudest detractors.
