D-Von Dudley Comments On Signing WWE Legends Deal, Has No Plans On Returning To WWE

Team 3D (Devon & Bully Ray) reunited at IMPACT 1000 to defeat The Desi Hit Squad (Champagne Singh & Rohit Raju). It marked the first time the two men had teamed up since 2016 when Devon retired due to a back injury. 

Ahead of IMPACT 1000 it was announced that the duo, who competed as the Dudley Boyz (D-Von Dudley & Bubba Ray Dudley), had signed legends deal with WWE. 

Speaking to Mike Johnson at PWInsider, Devon commented on signed legends deals with WWE. 

“We did sign legends deals. It was a few months back, 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. I dont’ 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,” he said. 

Devon left WWE, where he was working as a producer, in January 2023. 

Elsewhere during the interview, Devon said he has not talked to IMPACT about a deal, but was open to continue teaming with Bubba in the future. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
