Dudley Boyz to team up for first time in seven years at Impact 1000

The Dudley Boyz/Team 3D will unite for the first time in seven years for the 1000th episode of Impact Wrestling.

The show will be taped on Saturday, September 9th in White Plains, New York, and will air the following Thursday on AXS TV. Their opponents were not named.

Bully Ray & D-Von Dudley last shared the ring in a trios match in a December 2016 indie show while their last tag team match in Impact was at October 2014's Bound For Glory when they defeated Tommy Dreamer & Abyss in a hardcore match.

The two were two-time Impact/TNA Tag Team Champions as Team 3D's Brother Ray & Brother Devon.

While Ray has continued to wrestle for various promotions and currently has a home in Impact as a singles competitor, D-Von has not been in action since that aforementioned December 2016 indie show. He had worked as a WWE agent and then an NXT coach starting in 2016 before he departed this past January. 

D-Von underwent spinal surgery in February 2022 and was told at the time his wrestling days were over which he was fine with. His twin sons, Terrell and Terrence Hughes, wrestle as the tag team TNT on the indies, and have appeared for AEW and NWA in the past.

While there has been little announced for the event thus far, Impact has announced both Awesome Kong and The Beautiful People's Angelina Love & Velvet Sky will make appearance.
