Bully Ray & Nic Nemeth Say Neither Jey Uso Nor CM Punk Need World Title

Jey Uso and CM Punk battle for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event, a match that neither Nic Nemeth nor Bully Ray think should have a definitive finish. The two will compete for the title that Seth Rollins vacated on Saturday’s Peacock special.

Punk and Uso spoke on Raw about how they both need to be the World Champion. However, Nemeth and Ray don’t agree with that, and they spoke about the match on Busted Open Radio. You can see some highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):

Nemeth On Neither Man Needing The Title:

“I don’t think either one of those guys are gonna have it. I don’t know. Punk doesn’t need it. Jey doesn’t need it. But to have it, cool. There’s nothing. It’s great. Friggin’ being world champion is one of the coolest damn things ever, no matter where you are or what you’ve done. Period. But to be so beloved by a crowd one way or another, to not need it, is the greatest attribute in pro wrestling history. That’s why I really wanted somebody else, only because they don’t need it. They’ve transcended being a world champ… The reason I keep agreeing with you on there not being a finish or a weird one is because the two people fighting for it are above world champion.”

 

Bully On Why He Doesn’t Want Either Man To Win the Title:

“Pulling the trigger on Punk on a Saturday Night’s Main Event right now to become champion, that doesn’t feel right at all. Punk does not need a championship, and when the eventual day comes, night comes, that Punk wins the championship, it has to be the payoff of all payoffs, just like him finally getting to be in a main event of WrestleMania. Punk, much like a Dusty Rhodes — it’s a good place to be in — never needs a championship. When they put the championship on you, it’s just for the payoff. It’s coming right back off you because the people love you either way.”

“Jey Uso winning, I would look as nothing more than a placeholder right now. What I think I’d like to see coming out of this match, at the bare minimum, is the no finish, the involvement from The Vision, and Pearce being forced to book a four-way for the main event.”
