BJ Ray has officially let fans in on a secret about his time on WWE LFG.
Taking to Twitter on September 30, the “ratings machine” admitted he wrestled not one—but two full seasons—while dealing with a fully torn rotator cuff and labrum. In his post, BJ Ray explained that even doctors were stunned at how he was still competing:
“Cats out of the bag! Yes… ever since my return on LFG season one I have been competing with a 100% torn rotator cuff and labrum. The surgeon asked me ‘Bro how have you been wrestling, the only thing holding your shoulder together is your muscle fibers’. I told em ‘The show must go on’.”
He went on to reveal that he knew his larger-than-life personality would carry him through, even if his body couldn’t.
“That’s right, I wrestled both seasons of LFG basically not even able to wrestle because I knew that my personality was more than any other contender had. I have absolutely zero regrets and my shoulder is now repaired. I will be back in no time and actually able to lift my arm without it feeling detached from my body. Appreciate the love. As the ratings machine, I felt it was my duty to still be out there putting on for y’all. As well as the WWE and A&E asking me to push through as 25% of myself, because they knew how many views I drew. We will be back in no time baby! All love, SexyBJRay ❤️”
In a short video attached to the post, BJ Ray was shown in a hospital bed after surgery, cracking jokes about his recovery.
“I don’t need the narcos. I don’t need the narcos. Just a beer and a cigarette.”
BJ Ray’s reveal just shows how far some performers go to deliver for their fans—and how much they risk to keep the show running. With his surgery now behind him, fans are eager to see what he’ll do at full strength.
