As confirmed by respected Sports Illustrated’s reporter, Justin Barrasso, in an incisive writeup, it seems both Bully Ray and DVon had recently signed notorious ‘legends contracts’ with the WWE. While the specific stipulations of these agreements still lurk in the shadows of speculation, the duo’s return to the Impact 1000 platform –alongside Bully’s active role in the wrestling circle– casts light on the liberty allotted to them to associate with promotions outside WWE’s ringside protocols.
The Dudley Boyz’s remarkable trajectory had last seen them combat the duo of Sami Zayn and Neville in the 2016 SummerSlam kickoff. Earning them respectable stripes, the duo was hailed into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018 as part of an esteemed class.
Post-induction, DVon grappled with significant health concerns including back surgery and a stroke in 2020 which temporarily pacified his career’s momentum. However, exhibiting the resilience of a true hall of famer, DVon recuperated his strength. Now, he is gearing up for a dynamic return to the ring, partnering with Bully to face a pair of undisclosed adversaries at Impact 1000.
Any fan of wrestling would be keen to view the upcoming Impact Wrestling landmark episode, which promises not only an emotional reunion of a legendary team but also the thrill of their exciting face-off with the unknown challengers.
