The two superstars later worked together on other promotions, including IMPACT Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling. They briefly returned to the Stamford-based company in 2015 before leaving again in 2016. In 2018, the legendary tag team entered the WWE Hall of Fame.

"D-Von really doesn't like [Bubba Ray]. They didn't travel together. They didn't like each other. I remeber being in All Japan going to Tokyo Dome (...) they were there from New Japan and we're asking Bubba, 'where is D-Von?' and he's like, 'I don't f**king know.' Like they didn't like each other. It was just for business," he said. [2:16 - 2:33]

The Dudley Boyz wanted a dream match against a legendary WWE tag team
During their time in the Stamford-based company, The Dudley Boyz shared the ring with several legendary tag teams, including The Hardy Boyz, Edge & Christian, and The New Day. However, they have never crossed paths with The Road Warriors.
Speaking to Bill Apter of Sportskeeda Wrestling, Bubba Ray disclosed that he and his former partner wanted to have a dream match against The Road Warriors.
"The dream match that everybody wanted to see was Dudleys vs. Road Warriors. And that's the one we wanted to see also. That would have been an interesting match because the styles in which the teams put matches together. It's very different. So whether they would have been able to keep up with the pace we set. But they were The Road Warriors; they were able to do everything. They worked with everybody and were over no matter where they went, "said Bully Ray. [3:00 - 3:36]
