The pro wrestling world is full of rumors, and now one of those has been put to rest. D-Von Dudley is a WWE Hall of Famer, but he didnt end up in AEW. There may be a reason for that, but hes speaking out to smash one rumor.
D-Von Dudley recently addressed a rumor that resurfaced following his viral comments about not signing with AEW. Appearing on the Duke LovesRasslin podcast, D-Von responded directly to the rumor that Tony Khan passed on hiring him after allegedly catching him sleeping backstage. D-Von has spoken out about Tony Khan in the past, and hes not finished.
The story was brought up, and D-Von had no problem addressing things. According to the rumor, Tony Khan decided not to hire him based on this incident. D-Von pushed back on the claim and offered his side of what happened during those visits to AEW events.
D-Von said this rumor was planted through wrestling media. Only time will tell if the whole story comes out about this one, but Dudley isnt copping to sleeping backstage at AEW, but the did have his eyes closed for a bit.
The legendary tag team wrestler also made it clear that there was no formal role during those visits and that any downtime was due to waiting long hours for meetings that kept getting pushed. He noted that he was not actively working backstage or under any contract. So, things were painted in an unfair way by someone who wanted to spread a hit piece on him.
