The '''Dudley Boyz''' (also known as '''Team 3D''' in [[TNA Wrestling]]) are a retired American professional wrestling [[tag team]], who consisted of [[kayfabe]] half-brothers [[Bubba Ray Dudley]] and [[D-Von Dudley]].<ref name="tnabio">{{cite web|url=http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/231/37/|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20080730163443/http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/231/37/|archive-date= 2008-07-30|title=Team 3D's TNA Profile|access-date=2010-12-16|work=[[Impact Wrestling|Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]]}}</ref> The team was also joined by various [[Dudley Brothers|Dudley family]] members, notably [[Spike Dudley]] and former valet [[Stacy Keibler]].<ref name="team3d">{{cite web|url= http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/t/team-3D.html|title=Team 3D Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|access-date=2008-09-22}}</ref> They are best known for their time in [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] (ECW) where [[Joel Gertner]] was their manager.

The team wrestled as the Dudley Boyz in ECW and WWF/E, and upon joining TNA — due to WWE owning the rights to their names — they became known as '''Brother Ray''' and '''Brother Devon''' of '''Team 3D''' (named after their finishing move the Dudley Death Drop). Spike Dudley later signed with TNA and again sided with Team 3D as Brother Runt. Later in their TNA career, Brother Ray used the ring name '''Bully Ray''' while Brother Devon wrestled as simply '''Devon'''. After a brief feud with one another, Devon and Bully Ray were reunited as part of the villainous faction [[Aces & Eights]].

They are the only tag team to hold the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE, 1971–2010)|WWF]], [[WWE Raw Tag Team Championship|WWE]], [[ECW World Tag Team Championship|ECW]], [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|WCW]], [[NWA World Tag Team Championship|NWA]], [[TNA World Tag Team Championship|TNA]] and [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling|IWGP]] Tag Team Championships, as well as to win the [[All Japan Pro Wrestling]]'s [[World's Strongest Tag Determination League]] (although they never won the [[World Tag Team Championship (AJPW)|AJPW World Tag Team Championship]]) and are thus regarded among the greatest tag teams of all time. During their time as members of Aces & Eights, Ray was [[TNA World Heavyweight Champion]] on two occasions, while Devon was [[TNA Television Champion]]. On June 15, 2014, at [[Slammiversary XII]], Team 3D (as a team) were selected as that year's induction into the [[Impact Hall of Fame|TNA Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/5876-Testify-Team-3D-To-Be-Inducted-Into-The-TNA-Hall-of-Fame|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019071728/http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/5876-Testify-Team-3D-To-Be-Inducted-Into-The-TNA-Hall-of-Fame|url-status=dead|title=Team 3D inducted into TNA HOF - Impact Wrestling.com|archivedate=19 October 2015|accessdate=18 December 2022}}</ref> WWE recognizes them as the most decorated tag team in company history, with 18 world tag team championship reigns,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/node/27905130/page-7|title=6 most decorated tag teams in WWE history|website=WWE|accessdate=18 December 2022}}</ref> while TNA recognizes them as 23-time world tag team champions. They were inducted into the [[WWE Hall of Fame]] in [[WWE Hall of Fame (2018)|2018]]. In 2024, they were inducted into the [[Hardcore Hall of Fame]], making them the first to be inducted into the WWE, TNA, and Hardcore Halls of Fame.

They are famously known for their use of tables in their matches, usually beginning with Bubba Ray asking D-Von to "get the tables" in the middle of a match. On May 21, 2007, Bubba Ray and D-Von opened the Team 3D Academy of Professional Wrestling and Sports Entertainment at the X-Cel Fitness Gym in [[Kissimmee, Florida]]. Longtime pro wrestling journalist Fin Martin of ''[[Power Slam]]'', in contemplating the greatest tag team of all time, wrote: "If one were to base his decision on longevity, title wins and success in a variety of companies, The Dudley Boyz would get the nod".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.powerslamonline.co.uk/updates/218/Letters-on-Banks-Lynch-Ramon-TNA-and-more.htm |title=The Mail |last=Martin |first=Fin |date=March 2, 2016 |website=[[Power Slam]] |publisher=[[Wayback Machine]] |access-date=March 3, 2016 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303223701/http://www.powerslamonline.co.uk/updates/218/Letters-on-Banks-Lynch-Ramon-TNA-and-more.htm |archive-date=March 3, 2016 }}</ref>{{Professional wrestling sidebar}}

On October 12, 2025 at [[Bound for Glory (2025)|TNA Bound for Glory]], The Dudleys officially retired from in ring competition, after losing to [[The Hardy Boyz|Matt and Jeff Hardy]], in a [[Winner Takes All match]] for The Hardys' [[TNA World Tag Team Championship]] and the [[NXT Tag Team Championship]].

==History==
===Extreme Championship Wrestling (1996–1999)===
{{see also|Dudley Brothers}}
The teaming of Mark LoMonaco and Devon Hughes was born from ECW's [[The Dudley Brothers|Dudley family]], a team of comedic fan favorites that consisted of many illegitimate children of the mythical traveling salesman "Big Daddy" Dudley. LoMonaco's Buh Buh Ray Dudley at the time was a fat, stuttering [[hillbilly]] who entertained the fans by dancing and wrestled with several of his "half-brothers", including Matt Hyson's [[Spike Dudley|Little Spike Dudley]], for the [[ECW World Tag Team Championship]] several times. Hughes, as D-Von Dudley (the only black member of the family), debuted in ECW in April 1996 at [[Massacre on Queens Boulevard]].<ref name=hardy29>Peterson Kaelberer, Angie.

Initially, D-Von was hostile toward his family, saying that "true Dudleys" were not comedians. In February 1997, however, Buh Buh Ray and D-Von united at [[Crossing the Line Again]] and kicked all of the remaining Dudleys except for [[Big Dick Dudley]] and [[Sign Guy Dudley]] out of the family, becoming villains in the process.<ref name=slambio>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Bios/dudleys.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120720183745/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Bios/dudleys.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 20, 2012|title=Dudley Boys bio|publisher=SLAM!

The Dudleys began a rivalry with [[Rob Van Dam]] and [[Sabu (wrestler)|Sabu]] in the summer of 1998.

With the departure of The Sandman, the Dudley Boyz took advantage of Sabu's ban from competing in the US, and D-Von defeated Rob Van Dam in singles competition for their sixth World Tag Team Championship.<ref name=slambio/> With a brewing feud between the Dudleys and the [[Impact Players]], ([[Justin Credible]] and [[Lance Storm]]), Buh Buh Ray and D-Von still had their hands full with the new team of Spike Dudley and Balls Mahoney. It was at [[Heat Wave (1999)|Heat Wave]] in 1999 that Spike and Mahoney beat the Dudleys for the gold.<ref name=slambio/> The Dudleys, however, powerbombed both men through flaming tables—the first time such a thing had been seen on PPV.

In late-1999, the Dudley Boyz signed with the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF).<ref name=slambio/> They made their final appearance with ECW at [[the Last Show at the Madhouse]] on August 26, 1999, winning their eighth ECW World Tag Team Championship from Spike and Mahoney in an impromptu match and threatening to take the titles to the WWF, only to lose the titles to Tommy Dreamer and the returning Raven in another impromptu match later that night.<ref name=slambio/>

==== Early years and tag team dominance (1999–2001) ====
[[File:Dudley Boys 1999 WWF Smackdown (WWE).jpg|thumb|The Dudley Boyz briefly carried their tie-dye outfits from [[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] into the [[WWE|WWF]] before dropping them for camouflage attire]]

In August 1999, Buh Buh Ray and D-Von joined the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) and debuted on ''[[WWE SmackDown|WWF SmackDown!]]'' on September 2, 1999. They requested a $1 raise above the WWF's offer to stay in ECW, but their request was denied because ECW owner [[Paul Heyman]] was working a deal with Vince McMahon to supply talent to the WWF.<ref>{{cite video|title=The Rise and Fall of ECW|people=Kevin Dunn III|date=2004-11-16|medium=[[DVD]]|url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001Y4LZU|access-date=2008-08-19|publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]]}}</ref> Upon entering the WWF, Buh Buh Ray was first named 'Buh Buh Ray Dudley,' then was renamed "Bubba Ray Dudley," and returned to stuttering during his promos - a character trait he had initially used early in his ECW tenure.<ref name=slambio/> D-Von would then slap Bubba on the head to help him get his words out. After several weeks, most of the gimmick was dropped. They also dropped their classic tie-dye attire and began wearing [[military camouflage|camouflage]]-like ring attire.

While part of the WWF, the Dudley Boyz's claim to fame was bringing the use of [[table (furniture)|tables]] as weapons into the wrestling mainstream, often using their signature double-team move, the [[Professional wrestling double-team maneuvers#Death Drop|3D]], to put their opponents through one of these tables. They were initially villains and were known for Bubba Ray's penchant for driving women (including [[Terri Runnels|Terri]], [[Trish Stratus]], [[Tori (wrestler)|Tori]], B.B., [[Lita (wrestler)|Lita]], [[Torrie Wilson]], [[Jazz (wrestler)|Jazz]], [[Stacy Keibler]], [[Molly Holly]] and [[Mae Young]]) through tables however they became fan favorites in mid-2000 when they engaged in a feud with [[T & A (professional wrestling)|T & A]]. They then feuded with [[D-Generation X]] (DX) which culminated in a tag team table dumpster match at [[King of the Ring (2000)|King of the Ring]] on June 25, 2000 in which Bubba drove [[Tori (wrestler)|Tori]] through a table they spray-painted her name on.<ref name=slambio/> 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 and Christian]].<ref name=slambio/> The feud incorporated two critically acclaimed [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match|Tables, Ladders and Chairs]] (TLC) matches, the first at [[SummerSlam (2000)|SummerSlam]] on August 27.<ref>Peterson Kaelberer, Angie. ''The Hardy Boyz: Pro Wrestlers Matt and Jeff Hardy'', p.28.</ref> The second was at [[WrestleMania X-Seven]] on April 1, 2001, in which Spike Dudley (who had joined the WWF in early-2001) interfered to aid the Dudleys.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingWM17/wm17_powell-can.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629043102/http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingWM17/wm17_powell-can.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 29, 2012|title=Austin turns heel at WM X-Seven|last=Powell|first=John|publisher=SLAM!

In mid-2001, the Dudley Boyz became villains again in a storyline where they'd act more aggressive towards Spike Dudley, mainly due to his growing relationship with Molly Holly. They would also soon join [[The Alliance (professional wrestling)|The Alliance]], a massive [[glossary of professional wrestling terms#stable|group of wrestlers]] mostly consisting of former ECW and WCW wrestlers led by [[Shane McMahon]] and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, who attempted to take over the WWF.<ref name=slambio/> During this time, the Dudleys acted as enforcers of the Alliance, interfering on the behalf of Alliance mid-carders and main eventers. [[Stacy Keibler]] became the Dudley Boyz' manager during this time— dubbed the "Duchess of Dudleyville" by ECW manager Paul Heyman—but she later cost the Dudley Boyz a tag team match, and they put her through a table.<ref name=slambio/> During the storyline, they became the first tag team to ever hold the WCW, ECW, and WWF Tag Team Championships.<ref name=slambio/> Later, The Dudleys beat the Hardy Boyz in a cage match at [[Survivor Series (2001)|Survivor Series]] on November 18 to unify the WWF and WCW Tag Team Championships.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingPPV/nov19_survivor-can.html|archive-url= https://archive.today/20120714140526/http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingPPV/nov19_survivor-can.html|url-status= usurped|archive-date= July 14, 2012|title=WWF pulls out Survivor Series win|last=Powell|first=John| publisher=SLAM!

[[File:Duchessofdudleyville.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[Stacy Keibler]] as the "Duchess of Dudleyville" at [[WrestleMania X8]]]]
As 2002 began, Spike feuded with his big brothers again, winning the WWF Tag Team Title from them with partner [[Tazz]].<ref name=spike/> Following [[WrestleMania X8]] in March 2002, the WWF was renamed "World Wrestling Entertainment" (WWE) and the roster was divided into two brands, [[Raw (WWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown!]]. The Dudley Boyz were separated for a short time when Bubba Ray was [[WWE Draft|drafted]] to Raw and D-Von to SmackDown!.<ref name=slambio/> Bubba became a fan favorite again by reuniting with Spike Dudley while D-Von, who was still a villain, went on to become the corrupt preacher character "Reverend D-Von" and gained a protege with [[Dave Batista|Deacon Batista]].<ref name=slambio/> At [[Judgment Day (2002)|Judgment Day]] in 2002, Bubba Ray was in the corner of ''Raw's'' [[Trish Stratus]], who was defending the [[WWE Women's Championship (1956–2010)|WWE Women's Championship]] against Keibler; D-Von and Batista were in Stacy's corner as asked by [[Vince McMahon|Mr. McMahon]]. After Stratus retained her title, Bubba Ray and D-Von stood in the ring and shook hands before an altercation broke out between the three men where D-Von and Batista ended up driving Bubba through a table.<ref name=slambio/> As 2002 went along, Bubba Ray teamed with Spike on ''Raw'' to form a new version of the Dudley Boyz.<ref name=slambio/>

Bubba and D-Von reunited following the [[Survivor Series (2002)|Survivor Series]], when D-Von helped Bubba Ray, Spike and Jeff Hardy win their match against [[3 Minute Warning]] and [[Rico Constantino|Rico]].<ref name=slambio/> From then on, he was back on ''Raw'' (as he was part of a package deal that sent [[Paul Wight|The Big Show]] to ''SmackDown!''). After the Dudley Boyz were back together they immersed themselves in the ''Raw'' tag team division over the next sixteen months. During this time, alternating between siding with and feuding with Raw General Manager, [[Eric Bischoff]].<ref name=slambio/>

[[File:Dudleydeathdrop.jpg|thumb|right|175px|alt=|D-Von (left) and Bubba Ray (right) performing the ''Dudley Death Drop'' on [[Lance Storm]].]]

They continued competing in the tag team division until all three Dudleys were drafted/traded over to SmackDown! in March 2004,<ref name=slambio/> Bubba Ray and D-Von aligned with Paul Heyman and feuded with [[The Undertaker]].<ref name=keith95>{{cite book|author=Keith, Scott|title=Wrestling's Made Men: Breaking the WWE's Glass Ceiling|page=95|publisher=Citadel Press|year=2006|isbn=0-8065-2771-4}}</ref> They were also billed from New York City instead of Dudleyville. In June of that year, they won the SmackDown! brand's [[WWE Raw Tag Team Championship|WWE Tag Team Championship]], making them the first team to hold both sets of tag team titles in WWE history. By July, the Dudleys were helping Spike win matches by interfering in his favor, which Spike seemed to dislike at first,<ref name=spike/> only to reveal his hand as the "boss" of the outfit after they helped him take the [[WWE Cruiserweight Championship (1991–2007)|WWE Cruiserweight Championship]] from [[Rey Mysterio]].<ref name=slambio/><ref name=spike/> Their final appearance of 2004 as members of the WWE roster was on the November 4 episode of ''SmackDown!'' where they were taken out by the [[Big Show]].

====NWA/TNA World Tag Team Champions (2005–2008)====
[[File:Team 3D with a fan.jpg|thumb|250px|Team 3D with a fan]]
On September 21, 2005, Bubba and D-Von (now under the names Brother Ray and Brother Devon, respectively) signed multi-year contracts with [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA), as Team 3D.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news2005/1127340708.shtml|title=TNA announces the signing of the former "Dudley Boys" - full info inside|first=Ryan|last=Allen|date=2005-09-21|access-date=2010-08-23|work=WrestleView}}</ref> Team 3D made their first appearance on the October 1 episode of ''[[TNA Impact!]]'', helping save the [[3Live Kru]] ([[Ron Killings]], [[Konnan]], and [[Brian Gerard James|B.G. James]]) from [[Planet Jarrett]] and [[Team Canada (TNA)|Team Canada]]. Team 3D's first rivalry in TNA was against [[America's Most Wanted (professional wrestling)|America's Most Wanted]] ([[Chris Harris (wrestler)|Chris Harris]] and [[James Storm]]) (AMW), which included a mock funeral for the careers of Team 3D.<ref name=slambio/> At TNA's December pay-per-view [[Turning Point (2005 wrestling)|Turning Point]] in 2005, Team 3D defeated AMW in a Tables match.<ref name=slambio/> At [[Final Resolution (2005)|Final Resolution]] on January 15, 2006, Team 3D fought AMW again, but this time for the [[NWA World Tag Team Championship]], which AMW held.<ref name=slambio/> They won the match, however, due to Team Canada's interference the [[Referee (professional wrestling)|referee]] awarded the match to AMW.<ref name=slambio/>

On the April 13 episode of ''Impact!'', Spike Dudley, now referred to as "Brother Runt", debuted in TNA, helping Team 3D beat Team Canada.<ref name=slambio/> At TNA's April pay-per-view [[TNA Lockdown (2006)|Lockdown]], Team 3D defeated Team Canada in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Cages|Six Sides of Steel]] [[Professional wrestling match types#Flag match|Anthem match]]. Ray and Devon then started a rivalry with [[The New Age Outlaws|The James Gang]] (B.G. James and [[Monty Sopp|Kip James]]),<ref name=slambio/> with the two teams meeting at TNA's June pay-per-view [[Slammiversary (2006)|Slammiversary]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|match which no one can be counted out or disqualified]]; Ray and Devon claimed victory in the match. After their brief absence, Ray and Devon made a return to TNA in October 2006 and went back on the tag title hunt.<ref name=slambio/> They first fought with [[The Naturals]] ([[Chase Stevens]] and Andy Douglas), who defeated Team 3D in their signature tables match.<ref name=slambio/>
[[File:Team3dlockdown.jpg|thumb|left|Team 3D in an electrified steel cage at Lockdown in 2007]]

At the beginning of 2007, Team 3D became the number one contenders to [[The Latin American Xchange]]'s (LAX) NWA World Tag Team Championship and faced them at TNA's January pay-per-view [[Final Resolution (2007)|Final Resolution]].<ref name=slambio/> During the match, however, Runt was scripted to appear drunk, wearing a [[Santa Claus]] outfit, and interfere, causing Team 3D to get disqualified. They continued their rivalry with LAX at TNA's March pay-per-view [[Destination X (2007)|Destination X]] in a match which neither team could be disqualified called a [[Professional wrestling match types#No Disqualification match/No Holds Barred match|Ghetto Brawl]] by TNA, in which they lost after interference from [[Alex Shelley]]. At [[Lockdown (2007)|Lockdown]] in 2007, Team 3D defeated LAX in an [[Professional wrestling match types#Electrified Cage match|Electrified Six Sides of Steel match]] to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship.<ref name=slambio/> In this match, the cage was electrified by electrical powerlines, to give the illusion when a wrestler touched the cage, they would be instantly electrocuted, in storyline.

On May 13, 2007, the executive director of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) stripped Team 3D of the NWA World Tag Team Championship due to the permanent discontinuation of the relationship between the NWA and TNA Wrestling. TNA continued to recognize Team 3D as their World Tag Team Champions and were then designated as the very first official [[TNA World Tag Team Championship|TNA World Tag Team Champions]], and the new TNA World Tag Team Championship belts were unveiled on their "TNA Today" webcast on May 16, 2007. On the broadcast they were awarded the new championship by [[Professional wrestling authority figures#Management Director|authority figure]] [[Jim Cornette]]. Before the new championship was unveiled, Team 3D successfully defended their champion status at TNA's May pay-per-view [[Sacrifice (2007)|Sacrifice]] in a standard tag team match involving three teams known as a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|3-Way Dance]], which also including the teams of Tomko ([[Travis Tomko]]) and Scott Steiner ([[Scott Steiner|Scott Rechsteiner]]) and LAX. After the match, Steiner's [[The Steiner Brothers|brother]], Rick Steiner ([[Rick Steiner|Robert Rechsteiner]]), came out and attacked Team 3D which set up a match between the two teams at [[Slammiversary (2007)|Slammiversary]] for the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Scott, however, could not compete due to a [[Legit (professional wrestling)|legitimate]] injury; instead [[Road Warrior Animal]] took his place, but Team 3D retained the championship. On the June 21 episode of ''Impact!'', Cornette scheduled a "Champions versus Champions" match for TNA's July pay-per-view [[Victory Road (2007)|Victory Road]], in which the Tag Team Champions faced the World Champion and the [[TNA X Division Championship|X Division Champion]].<ref name=slambio/> At Victory Road, Team 3D lost the championship to Samoa Joe after interference from [[the Steiner Brothers]].<ref name=slambio/> On the following ''Impact!'', they blamed the Steiner Brothers ''and'' the fans (who had actually been taking intervals to chant "3D sucks" for weeks at the time) for their loss. At [[Hard Justice (2007)|Hard Justice]] and [[Bound for Glory (2007)|Bound for Glory]], Team 3D lost to the Steiner Brothers,<ref name=slambio/> the latter defeat coming in a two out of three tables match after [[Chris Sabin]] and [[Alex Shelley]], [[The Motor City Machine Guns]], interfered on the Steiners' behalf.

On the October 18 ''Impact!'', Team 3D assaulted the Machine Guns in the middle of their match, whipping them with studded belts and simultaneously powerbombing them through two tables while Ray derided the supposedly terrible quality of the Guns' match. Team 3D continued on this path of attack and verbal putdown, directing it towards the Guns' fellow TNA X Division wrestlers. This led to a match against the Guns at [[Genesis (2007)|Genesis]], which Shelley and Sabin won.<ref name=slambio/> They later stole [[Jay Lethal]]'s belt and kidnapped X-Division wrestler [[Johnny Devine]], who subsequently turned on his fellow X Division wrestlers. While still referred to by most as Johnny, Ray and Devon called Devine "Brother Devine" and treated him as a member of Team 3D, though he did not share the half brother backstory. [[Against All Odds (2008)|At Against All Odds]], Team 3D and Johnny Devine fought The Motor City Machine Guns and Jay Lethal in a [[Hardcore wrestling|Street Fight]] but lost. Per the match stipulation, Ray and Devon could not compete unless they weighed in at 275&nbsp; lbs. or lower.
[[File:TNA Bound to Glory IV (47 of 136).jpg|thumb|right|260px|Team 3D at [[Bound for Glory IV]]]]
After Against All Odds, Team 3D were matched with [[Shark Boy]] and [[Christopher Daniels|Curry Man]] on numerous occasions in tag matches, with either one or both of the brothers being unable to compete due to the weight restriction. The week before Destination X, a stipulation was added to the match between 3D and Shark Boy and Curry Man: if Ray and Devon did not each weigh in at under 275 pounds, they would be fired from TNA. Both Ray and Devon made weight, and as such never had to weigh in under 275 ever again. Shortly afterward, Devine returned to competing for the X-Division Title, his association with Team 3D being quietly phased out for a time, though it would soon return. As this went on, 3D, meanwhile, became part of several loose collectives of self-identified "bad guys" and "scumbags", aligning them at some point or another with almost every important villain on the TNA roster, including but not limited to [[Booker T (wrestler)|Booker T]] and [[Kurt Angle]]. They began a feud with [[Christian Cage]], [[Rhyno|Rhino]] and [[A.J. Styles]], attacking them on several occasions. Their feud ended at [[Hard Justice (2008)|Hard Justice]] with Cage and Rhino defeating them in a "New Jersey Street Fight". They then began a feud with the team of "The Monster" Abyss and [[Matt Morgan (wrestler)|Matt Morgan]], both teams competed at [[No Surrender (2008)|No Surrender]] with Abyss and Morgan picking up the victory.

====IWGP Tag Team Champions (2008–2009)====
Team 3D turned [[Face (professional wrestling)|fan favorite]] when they joined the TNA Frontline after appearing to join Kurt Angle's [[The Main Event Mafia|Main Event Mafia]], double crossing them and jumping them along with Frontline leaders Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles and Rhino.  They also attempted to put Angle through a table. At Final Resolution in December, Team 3D along with Styles and Joe lost to the Main Event Mafia in an eight-man tag team match. After Against All Odds 2009 Team 3D began a feud with [[Beer Money, Inc.]] ([[James Storm]] and [[Robert Roode]]) over the [[TNA World Tag Team Championship]]. They faced each other in an Off the wagon challenge match (where if 3D lost then the person who lost is [[kayfabe]] fired). Beer Money lost by countout. On April 19, 2009, at [[Lockdown (2009)|Lockdown]], [[IWGP Tag Team Championship|IWGP Tag Team Champions]] Team 3D defeated Beer Money, Inc. to win the TNA World Tag Team Championships in a match where both titles were on the line. This made Team 3D World Tag Team Champions for the 22nd time. On June 21, 2009, at [[Slammiversary (2009)|Slammiversary]], Beer Money, Inc. defeated Team 3D to become three-time TNA World Tag Team Champions after outside interference from [[The British Invasion (professional wrestling)|The British Invasion]] of [[Nick Aldis|Brutus Magnus]], [[Doug Williams (wrestler)|Doug Williams]] and [[Rob Terry]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/1564/84/ |title=Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on Spike TV! - Results & Photos from Slammiversary |access-date=2009-06-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090623233652/http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/1564/84/ |archive-date=2009-06-23 }}</ref> Soon after, 3D then reignited their feud with the Main Event Mafia from late 2008 by becoming number 1 contenders to face [[Booker T (wrestler)|Booker T]] and Scott Steiner for the TNA Tag Team Championships. After a failed attempt at the titles, they started a long feud with The British Invasion and other members of World Elite. Team 3D was attacked by World Elite on multiple occasions, until Beer Money Inc. intervened, leading to a loose partnership between the two teams.

====Various feuds and dissolution (2009–2010)====
On October 18, 2009, at [[Bound for Glory (2009)|Bound for Glory]], Team 3D captured their 23rd tag team championship when they defeated Beer Money, the British Invasion, and The Main Event Mafia's Scott Steiner and Booker T in a [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match#Total Nonstop Action Wrestling|Full Metal Mayhem Tag Team match]]. With both the IWGP and TNA Tag tiles on the line, they captured the IWGP titles, which the British Invasion had beaten them for, only for the Brits to take them out and win what at the time were Booker and Steiner's TNA tag championships moments later.<ref name=bfg09>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/PPV_Reports_5/article_36107.shtml|title=TNA Bound For Glory PPV Report 10/18: Ongoing "virtual time" coverage of the pre-game and first hour of the show|last=Parks|first=Greg|date=2009-10-18|work=PWTorch|access-date=2009-10-18}}</ref> During the following weeks Team 3D once again turned [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] and aligned themselves with Rhino in a battle against the younger talent of the company.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_36579.shtml|title=CALDWELL'S TNA IMPACT REPORT 11/5: Complete coverage of Dixie Carter addressing TNA roster, Styles vs. Daniels|last=Caldwell|first=James|date=2009-11-05|work=PWTorch|access-date=2009-11-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_36725.shtml|title=WILKENFELD'S TNA IMPACT REPORT 11/12: Ongoing "virtual time" coverage of Spike TV broadcast|last=Wilkenfeld|first=Daniel|date=2009-11-12|work=PWTorch|access-date=2009-11-13}}</ref> On the November 19 episode of ''Impact!''

Ray spent the next few months becoming close to [[Hulk Hogan|Hulk]] and [[Brooke Hogan]] while feuding with Devon and the Aces & Eights.

====TNA Hall of Fame (2014)====
On June 15, 2014, at TNA [[Slammiversary XII]], Devon returned to TNA and reunited with Team 3D two days later when he helped Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer in their attack against TNA President Dixie Carter's entourage; Devon and Bully Ray giving Dixie's [[Kayfabe|nephew]] [[Ethan Carter III]] a 3D through a table.
