Video: Dudley Boyz hype title match at MSG, talks New Day, past, present and future
The following video is the latest sit down interview with Michael Cole, and it features The Dudley Boyz.
During the interview, The Dudleys talk where they’ve been since they left WWE, and while they mention working for various promotions, they never mention TNA. The Dudleys also talk returning to WWE and facing The New Day at the MSG Network special for the tag team titles. Here are some highlights:
On their return to the WWE:
During the interview, Devon noted that they were overwhelmed by the reception they received for their WWE return on RAW in Brooklyn, New York. Bubba Ray added that the great part about the whole situation was that it was kept a secret. To know the WWE Universe never forgot them was heartwarming. He calls their reaction a shock pop.
On what they’ve been up to in the past ten years:
Regarding what The Dudley Boyz have been doing over the past ten years, Bubba Ray said, “everything,” while Devon mentioned All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), however, neither alluded to TNA Wrestling in any way. Bubba says they’ve been conquering the rest of the tag team world and opened their own wrestling school in Florida. Bubba says they’ve been very involved with the industry outside of WWE.
He spoke about how he saw the once nearly insignificant WWE tag-team division begin to thrive once again, particularly because of The New Day, and said that it was time for The Dudley Boyz to help get the WWE tag-team scene back to where it once was, and where he feels it belongs again today.
On their thoughts about The New Day:
Michael Cole then brought up The New Day and asked if they feel they are entertaining. Devon said that they are a good team and they are very entertaining, but that they are also “kick-ass guys.” He mentions that The New Day is trying to follow in the footsteps of The Dudley Boyz because they are doing everything that The Dudley Boyz used to do to get attention.
On the WWE Network Special at Madison Square Garden:
Finally, Cole brings up the fact that The Dudley Boyz will be challenging The New Day for the WWE Tag-Team Championships at the next live WWE Network special, scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2015, from Madison Square Garden in New York City. As far as that fact is concerned, Bubba Ray mentions that it doesn’t get any better than to win the titles back in their hometown, especially in a building like MSG.
