– During yesterday’s edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed tonight’s AEW Dynamite and how AEW needs to follow-up last Sunday’s AEW All In: London event at Wembley Stadium. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on the importance of tonight’s AEW Dynamite: “Wednesday, to me, is a very important show for AEW. Last year after All In, they never followed up on the biggest show that they ever did. They never followed up on a show that did 80,000 people, and if they did follow up, it did not stick … [tonight’s] show is gonna mean a lot … Wednesday night really needs to resonate with the AEW fan. This Wednesday night has to reinforce to the AEW fan why they watch AEW.”

On what he hopes happens on tonight’s show: “Hopefully with the success of All In and all the chatter about it brings some eyes back to AEW. I hope they remind everybody this Wednesday about the Danielson victory, what Ospreay was able to accomplish, all of this stuff. I don’t think his one is just gonna blow by, or at least I hope it doesn’t blow by, for their sake.”

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite is being held at the State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois. The show will be broadcast live on TBS starting at 8:00 pm EST.
