In the lead-up to the arrival of his new son with wife Taylor Hughes, Dudley took to his personal Facebook page and commented on what means the most to him. He included several photos from a recent family photo shoot.
"The career that I’ve had has been truly a great one. With all the accomplishments, memorable, matches, H.O.F inductions and friends that I’ve met along the way has been a wonderful ride. I have to say, the biggest joy in my life, even bigger than my career to me has been my family. Thank you to all my family and friends that have been in my corner and supported me over the years. This has truly been an inspiration, and one of the biggest joys of my life, I thank God and my wife Taylor Hughes for this joy. OH TESTIFY!!!!," he wrote.
The Dudley Boyz were inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame in 2014, and the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018. Their next induction will come in 2024 as they will be inducted into the Hardcore Hall of Fame at the former ECW Arena.
