During a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) discussed several topics, including Naomi’s powerful promo from last Monday’s RAW. In his remarks, Bully Ray expressed admiration for Naomi’s confident persona and delivery, highlighting her as a standout figure in women’s wrestling. He then surprisingly named Roxanne Perez as his top choice for the next Women’s World Champion, sparking interest in her future potential within the division.
Bully Ray Praises Naomi’s Commanding Presence
Bully Ray emphasized the unique impact Naomi had on him, explaining that unlike many others, she genuinely embodies the tough persona she projects. He stated,
“One of the issues that I have with women’s wrestling across the board, and I’ve discussed this with you, is it seems like every woman thinks she’s the baddest bitch on the block. But when Naomi talks, I believe she’s the baddest bitch on the block.”

He illustrated how convincing Naomi’s promo was, especially when she described defending her title even while holding her baby. Bully Ray said,
“She’s got it going. It’s the tone, it’s the words she uses, it’s everything about her. She’s so believable to me. When she spoke last night about, ‘I’m gonna give you heifers nine months and some change to do whatever you want with this championship but when I come back, even if I’m holding my baby and breastfeeding,’ I was like, she’s serious. I could see her, in the middle of the ring, holding a baby and beating the crap out of another girl.”
