NEWS ITEMS OF THE WEEK
THE DUDLEY BOYZ LEAVE WWE
At first it seemed like another "goodbye" moment, Followed by a return a couple of weeks later, But the departure of the Dudley Boyz from WWE is as legit as it comes. The speculation was that with a new contract allegedly being sign recently, The two would remain with the company, However, the two sides amicably agreed to part ways as the contracts had not yet been officially executed. The team since returning to WWE, have had a terrible run with a record of over 50 losses and only a handful of wins. The once challenging team of Bubba Ray and Devon (D'von) have become enhancement workers for the tag division, With losses to even the randomly paired Neville and Sami Zayn among many odd pairings in the WWE tag division since their return.
They are said to be in a position where a return to the company is not ruled out, With the proverbial door being left open for a future return, and a match scenario is ready with Gallows and Anderson as their targets. The Dudleyz and WWE agreed that they would do an angle with the Shining Stars and Gallows & Anderson, With the latter ruining the Dudley's final moments.
After their final RAW moments, Bubba and D-Von returned to the backstage area to be greeted and receive a standing ovation by the entire RAW lockeroom, WWE Officials and the McMahon's.
In regards to WWE announcing their final departure, WWE wrote the following hyping their RAW retirement; "One night after yet another miscommunication cost The Dudley Boyz a victory during the SummerSlam Kickoff, the most decorated tag team in sports-entertainment history will evidently be saying their farewells to the WWE Universe tonight, live on Raw.For more than 20 years, Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley have been among the most dominant tag teams in the world. They returned to WWE one year ago to earn their 10th tag team championship in WWE — a quest that was ultimately and unfortunately unsuccessful. Nevertheless, there will never be another tandem in sports-entertainment like The Dudley Boyz. Find out how Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley will cap off their legendary career tonight on Raw, beginning at 8/7 C on USA Network."
