Legendary showdown with The Hardys could mark the end of an era
Summary
– Team 3D vs The Hardys set for TNA Bound For Glory in Lowell
– D-Von Dudley confirms this will be his final match
– Backstage reports suggest it may be Team 3D’s last appearance together
Team 3D could be stepping into the ring for the final time tonight as TNA presents its Bound For Glory pay-per-view. The match against The Hardys is being promoted as D-Von Dudley’s farewell bout, and multiple sources indicate it could also signal the team’s official retirement.
Fightful Select reported that those within TNA believe this won’t be a one-night return. “There’s a very good chance Team 3D, or at least D-Von, ends up retiring after tonight,” one source told the outlet, noting that the team isn’t currently factored into any ongoing creative plans.
For D-Von, this match represents closure. Speaking with The Boston Herald, he explained that it’s his opportunity to go out the way he wants. “It’s an honor and a privilege to go out there and wrestle for one last time,” he said. “Vince McMahon wanted me to retire and be a producer in WWE, which is why I originally retired. I’m healthy, I’m ready, and this is my chance to finally go out on my terms.”
Bubba Ray Dudley, meanwhile, is approaching the event as a celebration of legacy rather than a goodbye. “For those who don’t think this is a good idea, they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about,” he stated. “This is about the two most decorated and iconic tag teams of all time going out there one last time.”
Jeff Hardy echoed that sentiment, calling it a full-circle moment for both teams. “It was madness back then,” he said. “Now we’re near the end of our careers, but we’re still out here going through tables and jumping off ladders. This match in Lowell is going to be extreme — it has to be. We owe that to the fans.”
With no confirmed creative plans for Team 3D after Bound For Glory, tonight’s tag team clash could be the final chapter in one of wrestling’s most storied rivalries.
