While nothing is set in stone, there has been talk within WWE creative lately regarding the possibility of splitting up The Dudley Boyz and having Bubba Ray Dudley perform as a singles character more along the lines of the Bully Ray heel persona he portrayed in TNA. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that while the concept has been pitched and discussed at meetings in recent weeks, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that it’s in the works because often times interesting ideas will come up and never actually come to fruition for one reason or another. www.sescoops.com/wwe-considering-splitting-up-the-dudley-boyz-and-bringing-back-bully-ray/ Please let this happen. Or even Bully Ray-ven. |

Hopefully it happens, the guy is an awesome heel.

So does that mean Brother Devon -- or whatever his preacher name was -- will come back? No thanks. If they'd use him properly, I'd love to see Bully Ray in WWE a few years down the road but there are still things for the Dudleys to do.

When I first heard the idea, I thought it was awful, but when they were pitching it as a way to get Bubba back to like he was in his TNA run, I'd be ok with it. But only if they really let him go all out with it and actually support it.
It'd help if Bubba got into the same shape he was during that time too.
And I know they won't, but for the love of God don't call him "Bully Ray". What a stupid name.

Well, since Hardyz/Dudleyz can't happen again until next year - I can dig it.
I would love to see the return of Bully Bubba Ray-ven.

I honestly don't want it to happen. The Dudley Boyz have been very poorly booked, they just need better booking.

I would hate to see the Dudleyz split again...but there was a time when Bully Ray was by far the best heel in the business. I don't see a reason he couldn't still do that character while in a tag team though.

That would be great to split them up for a while Bully Ray was a great heel, he could do wonders as a heel now in WWE.

'Sescoops'.
I mean it's not like WWE has any other choices right now.

To be honest, I'd much rather have Bubba and Devon stick together. But have them revamp their look and characters. I'm glad the Dudley's came back, but having them look and act exactly like they did 10 years ago was a mistake. IMO to stay relevant, they need something new. Let Bubba be a bully rat bastard, but have Devon right there with him. They could be the tough guy heel team to compliment New Day's goofy heel team.

They need better tag teams to go up against. I like New Day, but they are too goofy and haven't had THAT match yet. Put them in a good TLC match with the Dudleys and see what they can do. I wouldn't mind a Bubba singles run. But who would he have a legit feud with that would look cool? Ruesev? Sheamus? He'd look silly fighting them. As for D-Von? He could train in NXT or something. He isn't really needed.

I dont know if Bubba was on the juice during his bully Ray gimmick but the man was hulking. He's a big guy generally but calfzilla could easily be called tri-and-bi-cepzilla too. I was so shocked when he came back to WWE this year and looked like his old flabby self. What happened?

I would be all for that starting at the royal rumble when Bubba eliminates D-Von.

It would only work if D-Von was set to retire, or take a job training the young guys and gals at the WWE training center.
D-Von would not work well on his own in the WWE if they split them up. It was a proved back in 2002 when they did it. Bubba Ray shined more on his own then, but D-Von struggled on Smackdown with the preacher gimmick. But even if D-Von was on his own as just D-Von Dudley then, he still would have struggled.
Dudleys need to stay together, have one more title reign, and then they can split them if D-Von is leaving. If not, keep them together.

Yeah no thanks. I'm good with a little more Dudley nostalgia before they go away. He isn't in good enough shape now for Bully Ray.

Bubba was a great heel in TNA (even though Ace & Eights was a epic fail) and i think if given the chance he'll do great in WWE.

Please no. This will hurt D-Von very badly if he's left on his own. Sure D-Von could continue the Dudley Boy gimmick on his own, but with how WWE handles some teams splitting up (Primetime Players 2014), I'd rather they stay together. Plus I like the Dudley Boys as a team better anyway.

Bubba is definitely a solid singles wrestler and great heel. I haven't seen tons of D-Von but he can still go. I know I usually push for new guys but I was actually kind of hoping the Dudleyz would get another run with the belts but perhaps that time has passed. I feel like they are kind of just floating by now after a million matches with New Day.
