In an interview with NotSam Wrestling (via Wrestling Inc), Bully Ray detailed how his Wrestlemania 40 appearance happened earlier this year, where he was a special guest referee. He was part of the match between the Final Testament, Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits.
He said: “Me and Triple H had a brief texting conversation. ‘Here’s the idea. Love it. Done.’ And it happened 48 hours before WrestleMania. I talk about on Busted Open so often about how in the wrestling business it can happen that quickly, and that happened that quickly. It was the brief — I still have the text, I saved it, it was so brief. It happened on Thursday evening at like 10. That was it; that’s how quickly it happened. There’s no like big story, it’s not, ‘Oh, we cultivated this idea and we came up with this a year ago, and then we did this and put into motion… Idea. Love it. Done.’“
