D-Von Dudley became a WWE Hall of Famer in 2018

WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley (real name Devon Hughes) says he is almost back to full health after he suffered a stroke recently.

In November 2020, PW Insider reported that D-Von Dudley had not been working as a WWE producer for several weeks. The 48-year-old confirmed on his Table Talk podcast that he was dealing with some health issues but he did not elaborate on the situation.

Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, D-Von Dudley revealed that he is recovering from a stroke.

“I’m doing alright. I’m getting stronger and stronger each day. I was denying it and wasn’t saying anything before, but I’ll let it out now. I had a stroke and now I’m doing so much better. I’m back to my normal self almost.” [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
