Bully Ray identifies the WCW Invasion storyline as his largest WWE payday

Bully Ray, formerly known as Bubba Ray during his time with the Dudley Boyz, revealed that the 2001 WWE Invasion storyline provided the most significant financial compensation of his career. Despite the narrative reception among viewers, Bully Ray cited the Five-On-Five pay-per-view match as his most lucrative event. He noted that the decision to include him and D-Von in the Invasion team was unusual, as they were already established WWE performers at the time. According to the wrestler, WWE management expressed concerns regarding the strength of the WCW talent roster, leading to the incorporation of ECW and other performers into the storyline. He suggested that the stronger fan connection to the ECW brand compared to the late-era WCW influenced the composition of the invading squad.
