D-Von Dudley speaks about his time as a WWE producer coming to an end and his confidence that he will return to work for WWE one day.
D-Von Dudley began working behind the scenes in WWE in 2016 during the Dudley Boyz's final run in WWE as a tag team. He worked behind the scenes until January 2023.
In his latest YouTube video, he discusses his experience as a WWE producer. When discussing why his run ended, he explains that it was through no fault of his own, and it was just a matter of downsizing. He also says he's confident he will one day work for WWE behind the scenes again.
"So my reasonings for leaving the WWE as a producer wasn't totally my fault. In other words, I didn't really want to leave. I enjoyed myself, but unfortunately, I got a phone call that stated that my position was no longer needed at that time where I was and that they were going to release me as a producer," he said. "I gotta say, I was visibly upset. I was bothered by it because I really like working with the talent working behind the scenes. I went from hating being a producer to actually loving it. So it was one of those things where I really enjoyed doing it, but yet it was sad for me to leave. I've always said I was probably going to come back and do more business with them, but, again, you never know what could happen in the future. So I keep the door open as much as I possibly can.
"Let me just say this: the producers don't get the credit they deserve, they really don't," he continued. "You don't realize how much as a producer, you have to go through, not only dealing with the big boss when he gets upset, but now talent when they get upset. How do you get both sides to make it work? You, as the producer, have to be the buffer, and that means you have to be the one that plays to both sides to try to figure out how you're going to make this work. This is why a producer's job is so important. So, I'm sure one day I'll be back doing my thing with them and being a producer because I love working with the talent behind the scenes. Don't get me wrong, I miss wrestling, I miss being in front of the camera, I miss performing for you guys, but I also found a love working behind the scenes, not only that, but helping the younger talent get to the level that we were at."
D-Von Dudley's longtime tag team partner, Bubba Ray Dudley, has been working on camera for WWE as part of WWE LFG. He also recently appeared on WWE NXT 2300 in a match where D-Von was also able to make a cameo.
