WWE Hall Of Famer Discusses Upcoming In-Ring Return Against Former Rivals

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley has addressed his upcoming in-ring return, commenting on what fans should expect to see at TNA Bound For Glory 2025.

Following Matt & Jeff Hardy winning the TNA Tag Team Championship at Slammiversary, Bully Ray issued a challenge for Team 3D vs The Hardys at Bound For Glory on October 12.

With D-Von previously indicating that he believed he had one more match in him, the Hall of Famer has now commented on his return in his latest YouTube video.

Noting that this match will feature the “Dudleys and Hardys of old”, he said:

“I will say this business is business. I’m sure you have your fans out there that think that you’re the greatest. Hell, it’s like LeBron and Jordan. Jordan retired a little earlier than LeBron. LeBron still going. So those younger fans think that LeBron is the goat, and Jordan is second. That’s fine, not taking anything away from what you have done and what you’ve accomplished in this business.

“But there’s no denying that 24 World Tag Team Titles is a very, very hard thing to beat. You’re nowhere near close to having 24 World Tag Team titles. So that still makes us the greatest. That still makes us the GOAT of tag team wrestling. We might be 24-time World Tag Team Champions now, but come Bound For Glory, we might be looking at 25.

“I have to say that now I feel it’s the right time to say goodbye to a sport that had been so good to me, to a sport that helped provide for me, helped feed my family, put food on the table, clothes on our backs, a roof over our heads. What better way than to say goodbye at TNA Bound for Glory, and that’s what we’re gonna do.

“It’s gonna be The Dudleys and The Hardys of old. I’m gonna give everything I can to make sure that D-Von is right on track with everything that he does in that ring. So I’m excited, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to be able to get back in the ring one last time. I plan on having this one last match and then putting it behind me and saying I had a great 33-year career in pro wrestling.”
