In a surprising turn of events, WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community by teasing the possibility of another epic showdown between The Dudley Boyz and The Usos. While The Usos have recently split and are now on different WWE brands, this hasn’t deterred Bubba Ray from igniting the flames of a potential rivalry.
The tumultuous turn of events began when Jimmy Uso shocked the WWE Universe by betraying his brother, Jey Uso, at SummerSlam. His actions led to Roman Reigns retaining the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Tribal Combat match. This sibling rivalry escalated into several confrontations, ultimately culminating in Jey’s decision to quit SmackDown and make the leap to RAW.
Simultaneously, Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley, collectively known as The Dudley Boyz, made a triumphant return at the 1,000th anniversary tapings of IMPACT Wrestling. It marked D-Von’s first match since 2016, sparking excitement among fans and fueling speculation about their wrestling future as a tag team.
Bubba Ray, known for his fierce persona, took to Twitter to fan the flames of nostalgia and anticipation. He teased the idea of a potential feud between The Dudley Boyz and The Usos, with the rivalry centering around their iconic finishing moves—the 3D and the 1D.

While The Dudley Boyz recently signed a WWE Legends contract, their exact wrestling plans with the company remain uncertain. On the other hand, Jimmy and Jey Uso find themselves on separate WWE brands, likely building towards their rumored match at WrestleMania 40.
One key question arises in this potential showdown: Did The Usos receive permission to use the 3D as their finishing move? In a revelation from D-Von Dudley during an appearance, it was confirmed that Jimmy and Jey Uso had approached him for approval to incorporate the iconic move into their repertoire. D-Von, with pride and enthusiasm, granted them permission to honor The Dudley Boyz with their own take on the 3D.
“For them to come to me and ask me, ‘Is it okay if we use the 3D?’ I looked at them and said, ‘F Yeah,’ but I didn’t say, ‘F.’ You know what I said? I said, ‘I would love for you guys to do that,'” D-Von said.

D-Von’s recent return to the ring after a seven-year hiatus was met with joy and celebration among wrestling fans. However, whether he will continue wrestling regularly, like his partner Bubba Ray, remains to be seen.
The wrestling world is abuzz with the prospect of witnessing one more epic clash between The Dudley Boyz and The Usos. As fans eagerly await further developments, it’s clear that the rich history and legacy of these two iconic tag teams could add another chapter to the annals of WWE history.
