After working at ECW for some time WWE came calling, and D-Von got butterflies again. He and Bubba Ray actually got into a heated argument on the phone one evening as Bubba Ray tried to convince D-Von to make the jump to WWE with him. After hanging up on Bubba Ray once, D-Von soon realized he was wrong and he called Bubba Ray back and apologized. They went to WWE together and the rest is history.

D-Von says he really enjoyed The Dudley Boyz’ last run in WWE. He didn’t like the way he and Bubba Ray left the company originally, and he doesn’t think he would have ever been content if he didn’t get the chance to come back. He admits that it would have been nice to get the 10th Tag Team Title win, but it didn’t really bother him that they didn’t because he was more concerned with passing the torch to the new generation.

He informs that he and Bubba stepped away from WWE again in 2016 because Bubba had other things he wanted to pursue outside of WWE. D-Von says he wasn’t ready to leave WWE again so he simply moved behind the camera. He doesn’t knock Bubba for leaving because life is too short, and everyone has to chase their own dreams.

That sums up today’s episode of Chasing Glory. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
