D-Von Dudley on His Last WWE Run, Why Bubba Ray Dudley Left

D-Von Dudley was interviewed on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia where he revealed why he and Bubba Ray Dudley no longer wrestle for WWE and if he is upset the team didn’t get their 10th title reign with the company.

The future WWE Hall of Famer first spoke about why he and Bubba ended their run with WWE as in-ring performers, though he adds that he can still wrestle if needed.

“Number one, Bubba Ray Dudley wanted to go and explore other avenues, which is what he is doing now, and it was one of those things where I still wanted to be part of the company. I still had the urge but he wanted to explore other avenues, which is what ended up happening. I cannot knock him for wanting to do other things; life is too short so you have to do what you want to do. Life is too short to do what others want you to do, and I give him a lot of credit. Let it be known that I didn’t retire because I was hurt, or that I couldn’t do it. D-Von can still go; I can still jump on the top turnbuckle and jump on the table, so if WWE ever wants me to get back in the ring I can do it.”

Dudley explains whether he enjoyed his last WWE run.

“I loved my last run. My personal life was a little shaken up my bit, but as far as me coming back, I don’t think, even if I would have passed on before that would have happened, I don’t think I would have been able to rest easy because I needed to come back,” he said. “The first time we left I don’t believe we left the way we should have left and there was a lot of unanswered questions and things that needed to be done, so with that said we still had things to be proven. I wouldn’t have been comfortable leaving this earth without coming back and prove that the WWE is the home for the Dudley Boyz, so I was very happy we were able to do that.”

Finally, Dudley explains whether he is upset he and his brother never captured the WWE Tag Team Championship for a tenth time.

“It really didn’t matter to me because I was having so much fun. It would have been nice to do it, but the thing was we had already made so much history, so my thing was to mainly pass the torch. You can’t deny that we didn’t help the New Day or Usos advance,” he said. “We made it fun; we brought back what was missing and we were happy to do that. In that aspect, I was just happy and content with just doing that. I knew coming back, it wasn’t to relive the Attitude Era that some fans thought we should have done, it wasn’t to relive but help the younger generation advance.”
