D-Von Dudley seemingly enjoyed his job as a backstage producer in WWE
D-Von had been working as a backstage producer since 2016. The WWE Hall of Famer has opened up on various occasions about his role in past interviews. Here's what he had to say about his job while appearing on The A2theK Wrestling Show:
"I can do this for the next 30 or 40 years as a producer, I don't have to take another bump in my life, which I can't now after my back surgery. I don't have to take another bump in my life and be paid very well and my thing is helping out the younger talent. How I got to be in NXT ... When I found out I was going in for back surgery, when I found out how bad it was, I just, I couldn't do the traveling anymore, you know? I didn't want to be in a plane anymore, I didn't want to be in and out of the car. I'm 45 minutes away from the Performance Center, so I'm home in my bed every night." [H/T WrestlingInc]
D-Von Dudley did quite well for himself as an upper mid-card act in various promotions, most notably in the Stamford-based company. It would be interesting to see what's next for the in-ring legend now that his WWE stint has come to an end.
