D-Von Dudley Addresses Alleged Smear Campaign Launched By AEW To Ruin His Name

Appearing on the Duke LovesRasslin podcast, D-Von Dudley addressed a rumor being circulated about why he never joined AEW. The topic came up during the second half of the episode when the host pointed to an alleged behind-the-scenes effort to damage D-Vons name. Some of this had to do with a story that he was sleeping backstage, which D-Von also addressed.

Someone from within AEW has allegedly been attempting to influence wrestling media with a false story. This was not lost on D-Von, as he listened to this warning from Duke.

D-Von responded directly and said the story is not true. After he made a point to say that its not true, D-Von pointed out the fact that he was waiting all day.

The WWE Hall of Famer continued by sharing what happened during his visits to AEW. It appears that Tony Khan kept D-Von waiting for a while each time he went in for a meeting. This led to a lot of the misinformation as well.

D-Vons comments are not his only comments about AEW. Its anyones guess why AEW ultimately didnt go with D-Von, but there are also plenty of fans that are glad the two sides couldnt come together. After all, D-Vons recent participation in NXT and TNA wouldnt have been able to go down if he inked a deal with Tony Khan.

We will keep a close eye for any updates on this story. At this rate, its anyones guess what will come out about AEW first. We certainly know that D-Von Dudley seems to believe that there is a strong possibility that smear campaigns and other underhanded tactics may be at play.
