One of the few Ruthless Aggression originals still wrestling regularly in 2017, Bubba Ray Dudley has barely stepped away from the ring throughout his 26 years in the business. He was split from brother D-Von in the first WWE draft, but couldn't find his footing as a singles competitor, and the Dudleyz were eventually reunited by the year's end.

Both men stayed with the company until 2005, then left to forge Hall Of Fame-worthy runs as Team 3D in TNA. The former Bubba eventually embarked upon an acclaimed singles run as Bully Ray, but he and D-Von were back in WWE for a nostalgia run in 2015, lasting until D-Von's retirement in August 2016.

As his tag partner settled into a backstage role, Bubba left the company and reprised the Bully Ray gimmick on the indies. He started working for Ring Of Honor in 2017, and won the company's Six-Man Tag Team Championships with Jay and Mark Briscoe on March 11th.

The trio lost their titles on June 23rd, but Bully looks set to remain in a prominent role on the roster, and currently hosts a show named Busted Open on Sirius XM.
