BJ Ray showed up ringside at TNA Turning Point—and Steph De Lander didn’t let it slide.
The former WWE LFG standout, fresh off his October 10 release and recovering from surgery, made waves on Instagram when he posted a clip from the Countdown to Turning Point pre-show. Filming from the front row, Ray wrote:
“POV: I would clap these dorks easy lmao”
But that confidence came with consequences. TNA star Steph De Lander caught wind of the post and didn’t hold back, issuing a direct warning to Ray in front of the entire wrestling world:
“You paid a ticket to come and watch us lol. Stay on that side of the barricade where you belong.”
Ray hasn’t wrestled since revealing that he worked two full seasons with a completely torn rotator cuff and labrum. He underwent surgery shortly before his WWE exit but has stayed in the conversation thanks to his fanbase and loud online persona.
His Turning Point appearance marks the first time he’s been seen at a wrestling show since leaving WWE. It didn’t take long for fans to speculate that he could be eyeing a spot in TNA—and De Lander’s warning only added fuel to the fire.
Is Ray just spectating—or sending a message? Either way, De Lander made it crystal clear: stay on the outside unless you’re ready to step inside.
Do you think Steph De Lander’s warning was a one-off, or are we about to see BJ Ray step through the ropes in TNA? Sound off in the comments and let us know.
