BJ Ray

BJ Ray, the ring name of Brayden Jesse Ray, was a professional wrestler signed to WWE on the NXT brand. Ray appeared on both seasons of WWE LFG, where he was known for his heated rivalry with coach Bully Ray. He created an over-the-top heel persona that he believed was one of the greatest rookie runs, and without ever having a debut match on live NXT TV, he became one of the most recognized names in the brand and industry.

Ray was released by WWE on October 10, 2025. Ray announced he was having surgery for a torn rotator cuff and labrum just days before his release. After his release, he publicly reached out to AEW President Tony Khan on social media, making it clear he is ready for a new opportunity.
