In each of the previous two episodes of Raw, we’ve seen D-Von Dudley inadvertently hit Bubba Ray Dudley, leading to the most decorated tag team in WWE (and professional wrestling) history lose to a lower-level tag team.

Sunday, it was Bubba Ray’s turn to accidentally clobber his teammate, leading to another Dudley Boyz defeat, this time to Sami Zayn and Neville. The high-flying duo are no slouches, but it certainly seems to have reached a point where the Dudleys are actively costing each other every match.

At this point, it’s an “up” because it has to be the last straw, right? There needs to be a conversation between partners about this, or a turning point. Losing and not being able to function as a team is more than enough of a reason to break up, so let’s see if WWE can pull the trigger at the right time: now.
