Will the Dudley Boyz be back ?
Dudley worked as a producer for WWE from 2016 to 2023. He admitted that Saturday’s match would be his last. However , it seems like he is still ready for more matches. According to a report, the Dudley Boyz have recently signed a deal, although the details are not out yet. But given that Bubba Ray is signed as an Impact wrestler and Dudley made his return recently, WWE can ease their restrictions.
The Dudley Boyz spent the majority of their career in IMPACT Wrestling but were mostly popular for their time in WWE and ECW. They are one of the most decorated tag teams in the history of wrestling. The duo was inducted into the IMPACT and WWE Hall of Fames in 2014 and 2018, respectively.
