7 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 24th)
4. Welcome Back To Dudleyville
You want to hear what a truly shocking Holy S***! moment sounds like? Turn the volume up after the New Day/Lucha Dragons match and just wait a few seconds. The thunderous ovation when Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley returned to WWE after 10 years away (not counting Bubbas entry into the Royal Rumble in January) was deafening. It was a true freak-out moment, one of those rare times where the announcers losing their minds actually made sense. These are the nine-time former WWF/E Tag Team Champions and eight-time former ECW Tag Team Champions after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAQo3YflZh4 The Dudleys made short work of the current tag champs, running through all of their signature spots before putting Xavier Woods through a table with the 3D. Its unclear how long Bubba Ray and D-Vons return to WWE will last Is it a limited run or are they back fulltime? but this could be a lot of fun. At the very worst, fans got a great surprise and the tag team division got a shot in the arm.
