WWE delivered another solid event with this year’s Halloween Havoc at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania as it was truly a night of memorable moments and great matches. Even WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray got physical during the event and has now called out Ridge Holland following his appearance at the show.

At WWE’s Countdown to NXT Halloween Havoc, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray was confronted by Ridge Holland. After NXT Champion Trick Williams won his match against Ethan Page, Holland attacked Williams, and Bully Ray stepped in to help.

Later, on Busted Open’s Twitter account, Ray explained why he got involved. He said WWE legend Shawn Michaels had recently invited him and Busted Open to join Halloween Havoc, giving them a big opportunity on both the pre-show and the live show. Ray said he understood Holland wanting to make a name for himself with the first interruption, so he let it go. But when Holland interrupted again, Ray felt he had to step up.

At the end of the night, as Holland and Page were teaming up on Trick Williams, fans asked Ray to help, so he did. Ray praised Trick for his fighting spirit and the win, and he made it clear to Holland that he wouldn’t let this happen again and that he’s easy to find if Holland wants to continue the fight.

“Shawn Michaels came on Busted Open a week ago, and he was nice enough to invite us here to Halloween Havoc, to be a part of this, to give Busted Open even more of a platform than we have already. Put us on the pre-show, put us on the live show, basically let us do whatever we wanted. Ridge Holland decided to make a name for himself at our expense tonight. I understand the first time. Here’s an opportunity to get the world to see me if they didn’t know me. They already know who Ridge Holland is. So he did what he had to do. I let that slide. The second time, too much. That’s our time. Like I told him, you did it once, you did it twice, don’t ever let it happen again. End of the night, you saw what happened. Ridge decides to hit the ring, him and Ethan [Page] start ganging up on Trick. I could have swore that maybe Booker [T] or somebody at ringside, a couple guys from the back, I know it’s the end of the night, a lot of people went home, could have tried to at least help Trick. I got fans all around me saying, ‘Bubba, please help him out.’ What am I supposed to do? So yeah, tonight was enough, and you know how I feel about Trick. I thought Trick went out there and did a great job tonight, showed fighting spirit [and] got the win. Ridge, I’m not hard to find.”

We will have to wait and see whether Bully Ray will end up making more appearances on WWE television and possibly face Ridge Holland in a singles match, as fans would love to see that happen.
