Part of a tag team known and loved for their destruction of tables and opponents, D-Von Dudley mostly found success as part of The Dudley Boyz although, during their final run in WWE, they didn't win the tag team titles.

D-Von Dudley briefly pursued a solo career as Reverend D-Von. The gimmick was a failure, although his storyline assistant Deacon Batista went on to become a top WWE and Hollywood star.

Gail Kim didn't find much success in WWE despite winning their women's title. She was dissatisfied by the way the promotion treated their female wrestlers. Kim gradually evolved into one of the greatest female wrestlers in the history of pro-wrestling.

Kim quietly retired in 2018 but returned to battle Tessa Blanchard in another match. She transitioned to a production job at IMPACT Wrestling and recently appeared at the NWA's first-ever women's pay-per-view event.
