Bully Ray Reveals His Biggest WWE Payday Ever Was the InVasion PPV

During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recalled the biggest payoff he ever received in his WWE career, which came at the InVasion pay-per-view event in July 2021. The Dudley Boyz competed in the main event, joining Team WCW/ECW against Team WWE. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on His Biggest Payday Ever in WWE

“Biggest payoff [in WWE] ever was that Invasion pay-per-view; when it was Five-On-Five. I could not believe – dude, when I saw that cheque, I was like, ‘What the Hell?’ I couldn’t believe it. It was really weird for me and D-Von to be Team Invasion, like WCW/ECW. I believe the original idea was the idea of The Invasion to just be WCW, but – no disrespect to the talent – WWE didn’t feel like the WCW talent that were invading was gonna be strong enough.”

On The Dudley Boyz Joining The Alliance

“Me and D-Von felt really odd because we were WWE guys by then. You know, we had done a lot in WWE. We had (…) The Royal Rumble Tables match, we had a Ladder Match, maybe even one TLC or two TLC by then,” he insisted. “It was odd to be on the other side.”

At InVasion, the team of Booker T, The Dudley Boyz, Diamond Dallas Page, and Rhyno beat Team WWF’s Chris Jericho, Kane, Kurt Angle, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and The Undertaker. Steve Austin turned on Team WWF and joined The Alliance.
