Bully Ray Sees 'It Factor' in 'Green' AEW Star Megan Bayne Ahead of Title Shot

Megan Bayne's journey in AEW, while brief, has been impactful. Debuting officially in the Women's Casino Gauntlet match in January 2025 (though she had prior appearances dating back to 2021), she immediately established herself as a dominant force. Her undefeated streak isn't built on easy wins; defeating established stars like Rosa and Statlander, and pinning the reigning champion Toni Storm (albeit in a tag match), quickly legitimized her threat.

This rapid rise led directly to her challenging Storm at AEW Dynasty. Bully Ray, speaking on "Busted Open Radio," provided context, comparing her situation to his own early days in ECW, acknowledging that major television exposure requires adjustment, regardless of prior experience. "Listen, Megan Bayne is still green, okay?...This is her first real exposure on a major wrestling company," Ray stated, adding, "But I'll be damned if Megan Bayne doesn't have that 'IT' factor. That girl looks like a freakin' amazon. She looks amazing, she looks like she could be a champion."

Ray even suggested a potential title change wouldn't be unwelcome, stating, "I would have no problem with them switching that championship up and have Toni re-chase." He further elaborated on maximizing Bayne's presentation, advising, "They should never shoot her from the waist up. You should always see Megan on your entire screen... That's how you get a girl over like that... with that much size."

Bayne's Dynasty match against the charismatic "Timeless" Toni Storm is positioned as a significant bout on a stacked card, offering Bayne a prime opportunity to prove she belongs at the top, despite any perceived inexperience.

Megan Bayne is a professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), known for her impressive physique and undefeated streak since her official debut in early 2025.

Bully Ray described her as "green" (inexperienced on a major stage) but praised her "IT factor," impressive look, and championship potential. He also suggested camera techniques to best showcase her size.

She is scheduled to challenge Toni Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship at the AEW Dynasty 2025 pay-per-view event.

Bully Ray thinks Bayne has the 'It Factor' despite being 'green'. Do you agree with his assessment? Can she overcome her relative inexperience to defeat Toni Storm at Dynasty? Let us know your thoughts!
