WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently took to Twitter to react to Claudio Castagnoli's (f.k.a. Cesaro) AEW debut at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
On this week's Dynamite, Bryan Danielson revealed he hadn't been cleared to compete at the Forbidden Door and Blood & Guts events. He said a surprise replacement would face Zack Sabre Jr. at the crossover pay-per-view, who turned out to be Castagnoli.
Multiple WWE Superstars, AEW stars, and fans reacted to his debut. One of them is Bully Ray, who said Castagnoli received a "nice little pop" after his stunning first All Elite Wrestling appearance:

Twitter erupted after Claudio Castagnoli's (f.k.a. Cesaro) AEW debut at Forbidden Door
Castagnoli was released by WWE on February 24, 2022, after an 11-year stint. There were rumors about him possibly rejoining WWE, but that didn't come to fruition.
At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, the former United Champion faced Zack Sabre Jr. in a hard-hitting singles match. Castagnoli tried to end the match early by hitting The Neutralizer but only managed to get a two-count.
After a decent back-and-forth between the two stars, Castagnoli won after hitting The Ricola Bomb. Twitter had a field day after the former WWE star debuted for AEW.
One fan thinks that while Castagnoli got a decent reaction, it could've been a lot better.
Another fan believes The Swiss Superman will fit in nicely at Blackpool Combat Club:
Other reactions include:
While the former Cesaro has made an impactful debut in the Jacksonville-based promotion, it'll be interesting to see whether Tony Khan gives him a main event push in the future.
