On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray provided specific directions for the approach he believes Britt Baker should take for her upcoming return promo on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite: Beach Break.
After a significant absence, Baker returned to AEW at the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2024 pay-per-view event this past Sunday.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what Baker should do tonight: “I would have Britt Baker tell Mercedes, ‘You know what, Mercedes? Hold on. I’m going to go hang out with the people that actually mean something to me in this place.’ I would have Britt Baker jump the guard rail and go cut her promo in the middle of the people.”
On using Mone’s comments about eventually going back to WWE: “That is a grenade. All Britt has to say [is], ‘AEW fans, if you don’t believe me, this is what she said. She is eventually going to turn her back on all of us, and when she does, I’ll still be here like I was from day one.’ That’s how you make a babyface. Go up amongst the people, go sit with the fans, cut your promo right there and tell her, ‘This is what you’re up against. You’re not just up against me, Britt Baker, DMD. You’re up against an entire fanbase of AEW fans who I have loved from day one and who have loved me from day one, and I’ll be damned if you’re just walking in here and taking everything from us.'”
On why comments like that make Mone hard to cheer for in AEW: “If you were a wrestler from WCW or the WWF and you stepped foot in the ECW Arena, you were in a warzone and you should tread lightly. If you were to ever cut a promo in the ECW Arena or did an interview that said, ‘One day, I’m going to be back in the WWE,’ the ECW fanbase would’ve … spit on you, turned their back on you, would’ve done anything and everything to make sure you failed.”
On trying to make Baker heel: “If [Baker] comes out and tries to cut a heel promo, unless she were to cut the greatest heel promo of all time in which she could turn the people around and get [them] to hate her, I don’t think it’s very productive.”
