=== World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (1999–2005) ===

====The Dudley Boyz (1999–2002)====
{{Main|Dudley Boyz}}
[[File:Dudley Boys 1999 WWF Smackdown (WWE).jpg|thumb|right|The Dudley Boyz (D-Von on the right) briefly carried their tie-dyed outfits from [[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] into the [[WWE|WWF]] before dropping them for camouflage attire]]

In mid-1999, Bubba Ray and D-Von left ECW following a pay dispute, and he debuted in the [[WWE|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) in September.<ref name="Anderson"/> Throughout 2000 and 2001, the Dudley Boyz engaged in a three-way feud for the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE, 1971–2010)|WWF Tag Team Championship]] with the [[Hardy Boyz]] and [[Edge & Christian]]. The feud incorporated the first [[Triple Threat match|triangle]] [[ladder match]] at [[WrestleMania 2000]], and two [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match]]es, the first coming at [[SummerSlam (2000)|SummerSlam]] in August 2000 and the second at [[WrestleMania X-Seven]].<ref name="slam-dudleys"/> While they were initially [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]] and were known for driving women through [[Table (furniture)|tables]], the Dudley Boyz became [[Face (professional wrestling)|fan favorites]] in early 2000.<ref name="slam-dudleys"/> In early 2001, they were joined by [[Spike Dudley]].<ref name="slam-dudleys"/> At [[Survivor Series (2001)|Survivor Series]], the Dudley Boyz won the WWF Tag Team Championship, which they unified with the [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|WCW Tag Team Championship]] during [[The Invasion (professional wrestling)|The Invasion]], a storyline where the wrestlers from [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) and [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] (ECW) invaded the WWF.<ref name="slam-dudleys"/>

====Singles competition (2002)====
Following [[WrestleMania X8]], the company divided the roster into two brands, [[Raw (WWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown!]] in March 2002. The Dudley Boyz were separated when D-Von was [[WWE Brand Extension#Raw and SmackDown!|drafted]] to the SmackDown! brand and Bubba Ray ended up on the Raw brand. D-Von became a villainous [[reverend]] character under the name '''Reverend D-Von''' initially serving as [[Mr. McMahon]]'s "spiritual advisor", and later alongside his protégé [[Dave Bautista|Deacon Batista]].<ref name="slam-dudleys"/> Though the gimmick was a launching platform for Batista's career, it didn't last long, and Reverend D-Von was betrayed by Batista. He did pick up one of his most memorable individual victories of his WWE career when he pinned [[Triple H]] on May 9, 2002, on ''[[WWE SmackDown|SmackDown!]]'' after [[Chris Jericho]] hit Triple H with Reverend D-Von's collection box.

====Return of The Dudley Boyz (2002–2005)====
He eventually turned [[Face (professional wrestling)|face]] after he reunited with Bubba Ray and Spike on November 17, 2002, at [[Survivor Series (2002)|Survivor Series]], when he helped Bubba Ray, Spike and [[Jeff Hardy]] defeat [[3-Minute Warning]] and [[Rico Constantino|Rico]] in a tables match.

In August 2005, they were issued with legal notices instructing them not to use the (WWE [[trademark]]ed) name "Dudley".<ref name="slam-dudleys"/> This led to a degree of acrimony between the former Dudleys and their erstwhile employers, as they had used the names since 1996, several years before all ECW [[intellectual property]] was acquired by WWE in 2003 as a result of bankruptcy proceedings. Both believed Paul Heyman had granted them the rights to the name. Soon afterwards, the duo announced that they intended to pursue legal action against WWE.
