Wrestling icon D-Von Dudley opened up about his unexpected comeback to TNA during the milestone 1000th Impact episode, expressing his belief that he still has one more match left in him. His appearance was particularly poignant given his battle with back surgery and stroke, and his emotional moment in the ring—looking up and saying “Thank you”—held much deeper significance beyond just wrestling.
Reflecting on his comeback, D-Von credited his journey through health challenges and the opportunity to return to the ring as nothing short of miraculous, acknowledging gratitude to God and expressing disbelief that he was given another chance. The reunion was sparked when Bubba Ray reached out regarding TNA’s historic 1000th episode. Although initially hesitant about performing their signature “What’s Up” move from the top rope, D-Von eventually decided to go ahead with it, much to his own surprise.
When asked about future matches, D-Von was clear and realistic, saying he sees only one more match left for him. However, this final bout would come with specific conditions—it would have to be with Matt and Jeff Hardy. Given their shared history during the legendary TLC matches of the Attitude Era, D-Von feels these are the only two wrestlers he trusts with his body on the line in what could be his last match.
His emotional return was heightened by seeing his family at ringside, underscoring the profound gratitude he feels for making it back to the ring. The anticipated match is expected to happen in TNA, likely in 2025, marking a significant moment as Hardy’s Battle Team 3-D was his last major spotlight.
