Women’s NoDQ match on AEW Dynamite criticized by WWE Hall of Famer for being “too f*cking much”

As previously noted, Harley Cameron will reportedly be taking time off from AEW following her NoDQ tag team match with Anna Jay against Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford from the May 28th 2025 edition of Dynamite. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray criticized the match…

“After it was all over, you know, it fell short. Harley got busted open. The finish was missed completely. I’d be like girls E for effort. Great job. Putting so much thought into it. Cut it in half. Take 50% of all the stuff that you want to do and get rid of it, because it’s too fucking much. Nobody is going to remember it. None of you are experts at using furniture, none of you are experts at swinging chairs. I want to know when these four women ever were able to practice their use of using weapons… I don’t know what makes anybody think that they’re just going to show up on a Wednesday night or a Saturday night and be proficient in this stuff and make it look good.”

“It’s on the producer and the agent to protect the talent from themselves. I would be asking Anna. ‘Anna, let me see you swing a chair… Penelope, let me see you do this.’ Harley became so gun shy from that [getting busted open] that when she was sitting on top of Megan’s shoulders, she was completely folded over because she didn’t want to get hit in the face again, thus creating absolutely no target for Penelope Ford to hit… So it looked really, really, really bad. It’s a producer’s job to make sure that the women are positive, that they can execute on live TV. I don’t give a rat’s ass what you can do in practice. You have to be able to do it on television.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
