Bully Ray pitches an interesting angle for recent debutant’s AEW future
WWE legend Bully Ray has pitched a creative plan for the recent AEW debutant. The veteran commented on how the debutant should be booked in the future.
Kamille made her anticipated AEW debut last week on the Blood & Guts special episode of Dynamite. She joined forces with TBS Champion Mercedes Mone after attacking Dr. Britt Baker on the show. The former NWA World Women's Champion was later officially announced as the new member of the roster.
During the recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray stated that he had high hopes for Kamille. The WWE Hall of Famer stated that Tony Khan's promotion should establish the former NWA star in the same manner that WWE established The Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna, during the late 1990s.
"Great to see Kamille. High hopes for Kamille. We saw what she's [done] in the NWA, brought credibility to that [World Women's Championship]. I want to see Kamille get established first; I want to see Kamille established the same way Chyna was established back in the day, or whenever you wanna establish somebody and take them seriously," he said.

Bully Ray added:
"Hopefully, AEW brings everybody up to speed on Kamille and what she has done, and her levels of credibility. Nobody should get their hands on Mercedes Mone, and I mean nobody. Not Britt Baker, not one woman in that AEW locker room should be able to lay a hand on Mercedes Mone, and if they get too close, Kamille should just kick their heads off." [H/T: WrestlingINC]
Bully Ray criticizes AEW for delaying Kamille's debut
According to Fightful Select, the Jacksonville-based promotion signed Kamille in February 2024. However, the 31-year-old made her first televised appearance this past week on Dynamite.
During the same episode of the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray criticized the Tony Khan-led company for delaying Kamille's AEW TV debut and claimed that the crowd reaction to the star's eventual appearance was lackluster due to her limited exposure.
"If somebody were to tell me that they hold off this long, because this was exactly the plan, I would've said, 'You held off too long!' Because Kamille's been out of sight, out of mind for a while, and despite the fact that I was extremely excited to see her tonight—and a lot of people were—when she hit the ring, there wasn't a tremendous response in the arena. Because the only real exposure she's had so far is the NWA, and honestly, it's just minimum exposure," Bully said.
Only time will tell what Tony Khan has in store for Kamille in the coming weeks.
