D-Von Dudley and his brother Bully Ray (a.k.a Bubba Ray Dudley) are WWE Hall of Famers. Their tag team name was 3D, they were also known as The Dudley Boyz. They have not been seen in the Stamford-based promotion for a long time.
Their most recent appearance was at last week’s IMPACT Wrestling’s 1000th episode celebration. They had a tag team match and also won it. The duo wrestled the team of Rohit Raju and Champagne Singh (the Desi Hit Squad).
Recently, it was reported that The Dudley Boyz had signed legends contracts with WWE. In a recent interview with PWInsider.com’s Mike Johnson, D-Von Dudley confirmed the reports. He also mentioned that it happened a few months ago.
“It was a few months back,” Dudley said. “So I was very shocked when I saw reports that we had signed a legends deal because it made it seem like we had signed it that day or that we had just signed it, and we didn’t. We signed it, and the Dudley Boyz will now be new action figures, in video games, it’s more merchandise. That, I’m happy to say, we did sign a legends deal, and we’ll see what happens from there, D-Von Dudley said. [H/T WrestlingInc.com]
D-Von Dudley has no plans of returning to in-ring action in WWE
While speaking in the same interview, Dudley revealed that while he enjoyed his run in the Stamford-based promotion he currently has no plans of returning to WWE.
“I don’t have any plans on going back to WWE. I don’t think WWE has any plans on bringing me back, which is fine. I had a good run there. My run was longer than I ever expected, and I’m very grateful and happy with everything I accomplished there. I have no ill feelings for anyone there. I wasn’t happy on how things transpired towards the end because, in my opinion, it should have never been done, but it is what it is, and it happens. I’m happy we can still do some business in terms of a legends deal and we can go from there and see what it’s all about.”
Dudley also recently commented about his singles run in WWE.
