Bubba Ray Dudley Continues To Tease A WWE Return

Former WWE Superstar Bubba Ray Dudley continues to tease a return to the company.

The Dudley Boyz bid farewell to the WWE Universe on RAW back in August, the night after SummerSlam. The two were laid out by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, leading many to believe their departure was a storyline to set up a feud between the two teams. Since then, Bubba has been working independent dates while D-von is now working as a producer backstage. Over the past week, Bubba Ray sent out several tweets indicating he is getting the itch to step back in a WWE ring.

In response to a fan who said he misses the Dudley Boyz on Monday nights, Bubba Ray responded:

Another fan told Bubba that if he does return to WWE – he should make a comeback as Bully Ray.

Finally, Bubba was asked if he’d rather challenge for Kevin Owens’ Universal Championship or AJ Styles’ WWE World Championship. He joked that Kevin Owens’ title would probably fit him better, as the two are closer in body stature, but he’s certainly getting his followers’ hopes up regarding a potential return.

TNA Wrestling Hearing Scheduled To Unseal Billy Corgan Lawsuit – Recent Financier Revealed

Billy Corgan‘s lawsuit against TNA and Dixie Carter may soon become public, because a hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon to determine whether it should stay sealed.

According to court records, a chancellors hearing will occur tomorrow morning and both sides will be argued — but in most cases, it’s unusual for a civil suit to be kept private.

In other TNA news, The Fight Network just announced that they’ve recently been funding the company … adding, “Fight Network has also offered to provide TNA Impact Wrestling with funding to repay the loans made by Mr. Billy Corgan and is positioned to provide additional transitional assistance to the company.”

One backstage source says the word going around amongst employees is that Fight Network wants to repay Billy with the intent to remove him from his position as President.

TNA Expected To Eventually File For Bankruptcy

It was noted on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that TNA will likely file for bankruptcy with the idea of absolving their debt. There’s no indication as to what would happen next but the main creditors would be Billy Corgan, Aroluxe and The Fight Network.

Dave Meltzer also commented on the sale of the company and Dixie Carter not wanting to look bad, which is a baffling concern at this point:

“The whole thing is, Dixie is still trying to figure out a way – this is why it hasn’t been sold – I don’t know if it’s to stay in control but the whole thing is, she doesn’t want to look bad publicly.”

Meltzer did not say if TNA would be filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It’s possible TNA could stay alive if they filed for Chapter 11 but Chapter 7 would likely mean the end of the company. As noted this morning, TNA has scheduled TV tapings at Universal Studios in Orlando for early January.

AMEX also claims that TNA agreed to payments on the receipt of monthly billing statements and to pay court costs if the case went to court. It’s also claimed that the agreement included TNA would have to pay all reasonable costs when it came to AMEX collecting what they were owed, including delinquency fees and finance charges.

AMEX is asking for $269,049.50 as well as all legal costs to be paid.
