WWE Hall Of Famer Bully Ray has told listeners tuning into Busted Open Radio that AEW's current pay-per-view schedule will lead to an "underwhelming" All Out 2023.

The former Bubba Ray Dudley questioned whether or not it was a good idea for Tony Khan to book pay-per-views on consecutive weekends over the past fortnight - he's especially worried that a dwindling live attendance number for Wednesday's episode of Dynamite is indicative of fan burnout on the All Elite product.

Bully doesn't think scheduling All Out just one week after a blockbuster Wembley Stadium show over in London, England was the right call. All In has barely settled, but AEW is ready to hit the fanbase with yet another supershow.

According to Ray, All Out could be less than super though. He said: "There's no [sense that] I have to be planted in front of my TV set". He'd go on to single out the ROH TV Title clash between reigning champ Samoa Joe and Honor regular Shane Taylor by pointing out that the match isn't exactly must see fare.

Bully wants AEW to do well, but he's concerned by recent events.
