Bully Ray recently explained why he hasn’t been close to D-Von following his unexpected solo appearance at the TNA Slammiversary Pay-Per-View event. In a new interview, he revealed that D-Von’s absence was due to important family issues, not backstage or creative disagreements, and emphasized that D-Von is destined for success.
On Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray addressed fan inquiries about D-Von’s absence, clarifying it was because of a personal family commitment that couldn’t be ignored. He expressed his hope that his brother could have been with him but acknowledged the urgency of D-Von’s family matter. Despite missing the event, Bully Ray described their attempt to create a memorable surprise at Slammiversary.
During the Slammiversary event, Bully Ray took on the Hardy Boyz in one of the final matches between these iconic tag teams, with the showdown set for October 12th at TNA’s premier event, Bound for Glory. Bully assured fans that D-Von’s journey toward glory is underway, stating, “D-Von is bound for glory, trust me.”

Fan Take: This update is crucial for TNA Wrestling fans as it confirms that personal matters, not internal conflict, are keeping D-Von away, preserving the integrity of Team 3D’s legacy. Their upcoming challenge at Bound for Glory promises to reignite one of wrestling’s greatest tag team rivalries, potentially creating memorable moments for the sport.
