D-Von Dudley sets the record straight.
D-Von Duddley (Devon) and Bubba Ray Dudley (Bully Ray) returned as Team 3D at IMPACT 1000, defeating The Desi Hit Squad (Champagne Singh & Rohit Raju). It was Devon's first match since 2016. He had been out of wrestling due to a back injury.
It was reported that Devon told fans at an autograph signing that he was trying to get a deal with IMPACT and that he was out of retirement.
Speaking to Mike Johnson at PWInsider, Devon gave his side of things.
"There is no deal to be made. Nothing was talked about with IMPACT. Bubba and I talked about maybe continuing this. Again, I told him I would speak it over with my wife and family. That's something I'll talk about with them and see if that's something I would want to do. I don't see it being a problem if they said 'no.' If IMPACT said, 'Devon, we would like you to come back and do more dates,' I'd be a fool not to if I'm lucky enough to do it. If the fans wanted me and Bubba to be back, and I think they expressed that they were happy that we were back and wanted to see more. If that's the case, I wouldn't mind touching ground on it, but nothing has been said. It was something me and Bubba have said on social media and all the boys and the fans, 'It's time to Testify,' let's do it. Some people are taking it the wrong way. If they want to hope, and sit there and put my name in social media and give it life, have fun with it. I'm telling you, for the record, I'm not sure what I'm doing right now. I'm going to take the options that might come, if they do come, and I'll make my decision then. As far as having a deal or talking things with IMPACT, that's not true, I'm not doing that. The only people I'm talking to are my family, my wife, my kids, and Bubba. At the end of the day, he and I have to tag together. Unless you hear something from me or Bubba personally, the rumors are just rumors and people need to stop," said D-Von
That settles that.
It is unknown if or when D-Von will return to the ring.
