D-Von Dudley might’ve walked away from the ring after his final match at Bound for Glory 2025, but he’s not shutting the door completely. In fact, there’s one thing that could make him lace up the boots again—and that’s money.
While speaking on Dukes Loves Rasslin, D-Von was asked whether he’d ever consider stepping back into the ring, particularly if WWE came calling with an offer. Dudley didn’t beat around the bush—if the number is right, he’s listening.
“Look, six figures—or even close to seven figures—can make a man do anything. It can make him go back on his word real quick. But I just don’t see it. I don’t see WWE doing that. So, I’m going to leave it at that.”
Although he admits the final match was the perfect send-off, D-Von isn’t completely ruling out a return. The former WWE Tag Team Champion is aware that wrestling retirements are rarely permanent, and the right dollar amount could change everything.
“I also feel that we did so well in this match that doing it again, or keeping on doing it, would just be redundant. I don’t think we should. I think we should leave on this high note and that’s it.”
But then came the key line that left fans hopeful:
“But again, if they want to pay that kind of money to make it happen, absolutely—okay, let’s do it.”
For now, D-Von remains content with how his in-ring career ended, but he’s also realistic—big money talks. Whether WWE or another promotion comes knocking with the kind of deal that makes him reconsider remains to be seen.
