7 underwhelming WWE returns

#1 The Dudley Boyz: 2015 - 2016

From Dudleyville to Losersville

In my opinion, The Dudley Boyz are the greatest tag team in the history of professional wrestling. They have held 26 Tag Team titles and have had some of the best matches in the history of WWE, ECW and TNA Impact Wrestling.

The Dudley Boyz were released by WWE in July 2005 after Vince McMahon had felt that had become stale, they had even been taken off TV six months before for just that reason. After a very successful run in TNA and Japan, The Dudley Boyz returned to WWE for the first time in 10 years on the post-SummerSlam episode of RAW. They returned to a thunderous ovation as they took out The New Day.

After unsuccessfully challenging The New Day for the Tag Team Championships during a three-month feud, Dudley's quickly went right down the ladder and fast. They would feud with the Wyatt Family, putting them over in every match they had and would then spend the remainder of their return not even seeing any pay-per-view time.

The Dudley's would lose nine of every ten matches they had and wouldn't have any proper storylines. They would even lose matches pointlessly as well, as the Lucha Dragons would defeat them on an episode of SmackDown, and then announce two days later that they were mutually splitting up as a team, so who did that win benefit?

The Dudley Boyz announced they would be leaving WWE on the August 22 episode of RAW. The Dudley's WWE run at least ended on a high note when they were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2018.
