Bully Ray criticizes MJF vs Garcia match at AEW All Out for lack of storytelling continuity

Former professional wrestler Bully Ray expressed disappointment with the recent match between MJF and Daniel Garcia at AEW All Out. On his radio show, Ray criticized the lack of storytelling continuity, particularly in reference to a bloody segment from the previous Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite. He felt that the match failed to provide a satisfying conclusion to the ongoing feud between the two wrestlers.

Ray argued that while Garcia has gained popularity, he was unable to defeat MJF, leaving the storyline without proper resolution. He emphasized the importance of payoff in wrestling narratives, suggesting that the match missed an opportunity to settle the score between the two competitors. The absence of a bloody MJF at the end of the match, in contrast to the earlier Dynamite segment, was noted as a missed chance for narrative symmetry.

Reports indicate that the match’s finish may have been altered due to uncertainty surrounding Garcia’s contract status with AEW. Despite this, company officials are optimistic about Garcia remaining with the promotion. The situation highlights the complex interplay between storytelling and real-world factors in professional wrestling.
