WWE: 10 Awesome Wrestling Reunions

6. The Dudley Boyz (2002)

One of the most notable casualties of the split was the team of Bubba Ray and D'Von, the Dudley Boyz. The former tag team champions had grown stale over the course of the previous year and it was decided that the best way to freshen them up would be to split them up over the two brands. Bubba Ray became the exclusive property of Monday Night Raw while D'Von was drafted to SmackDown. Bubba became an upper-midcard babyface whose style closely resembled that of the "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. D'Von was less lucky, becoming saddled with a preacher gimmick and stuck in a crowded SmackDown midcard. Sure, he worked alongside Batista and has been credited by The Animal with helping his development early on but he was largely stuck in midcard hell on the blue brand. At Survivor Series 2002, during a match pitting Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley and Jeff Hardy against Rico and 3-Minute Warning, D'Von hit the ring and helped his brothers win the match. The Madison Square Garden popped for the reunion of one of WWE's most popular teams and the reunion was deemed a success from the get-go. The team would remain together through their departure from WWE in 2005, providing fans with several more matches and moments from the table-breaking duo.
