I would like to see them return to WWE. Either as a team or separate. A nostalgia tag run could help the revival of the tag division. If there's one thing TNA does it's make me look forward to their return.

This could be a really ineffective way for ROH to get back at TNA.
The All Night Express will change their name to the Stay Up At Least Until Leno's Monologue Express.

Coudln't care less about Devon, who has plateau'd a long time ago, and doesn't bring that much to the table. Yeah, he's still over with the live crowds, but mostly because of his 3D/Dudley past, and not because of anything he did recently.
Same old schtick, same old matches, no big loss. And the tv title being defended every week is a bad idea, unless you're ready to face frequent title changes : otherwise, it's still the same guy fighting week in and week out, which, when you have a stale champion like Devon, is quickly boring.
Now, since Ray was apparently in charge of negociating both of their contracts, and they're probably coming in as a package deal, it's probable that Ray is done too, and signed a brief extension until BFG. Ray leaving isn't a good thing, since the man is doing the best work of his career in TNA and reinvented himself, but it won't be that serious of a blow to the roster, and it might allow some of the Aces n Eights guys to have some room at the top of the card as a mid-card/upper card heel.
Wait & see.

Just get rid of the TV and Knockout Tag team title....and keep the World, X, Tag and Knockout belts. I honestly think the TV title has a place, but it needs to be featured ON TV, every week. For me, I rather have drop the tv title and start fresh with a new title that haven't been through 3 name changes and uses the same belt through out the course of it.

Well he is over, established world wide, and has been a TNA company man for years. Of course they get rid of him lol... Maybe he was just done with TNA and wanted to move on to something else in his life. We don't know for sure if he just didn't want to resign or if TNA forced him to with a bad contract.

The TV title just has such a long history of shit that I really think it's not worth keeping around. The stupid thing started as a joke belt that Booker T invented.

I'm pretty sure he will be back and they will resign Bully Ray, Doesn't Dixie LOVE the Dudleys?? So, I am sure that she doesn't want them to go back to E.

This will be interesting. I don't think the Dudleyz have ever not been a package deal, but man, why would Bully Ray leave? He's a massively over heel, who is borderline main event.
What could the WWE possibly offer?
Reform the Dudley Boyz? Sure, you'd get a great nostalgia run as a tag team, but then what?

TNA will re-sign him around Christmas after Dixie realizes he hasn't been around for 4 months.

I mean, loyalty's great and all that, but at the same time, this is the push of Ray's life.

No real loss, but they should've had him drop the belt beforehand.
Unless they're planning to quietly retire it, of course.
Don't think it'll have any influence on what Bubba does. He's established himself as a singles performer a lot better than Devon did so he shouldn't feel tied at the hip anymore.

Instant feud with Cena. But we won't see Bully or Devon back in the WWE till this lawsuit is taken care of.

If they're working a full time WWE schedule, would they even have time to run their school? I don't think that them working in the 'E would give their students more of a chance to get on a televised wrestling show compared to what they have now where TNA has given a lot of their super green students TV time, not while the WWE has it's own developmental program. As for being promised road agent jobs go, remember what happened to the backstage producer role they promised Spike Dudley? Money would be the primary reason for Bubba to leave and I can't say I'd blame him if he did jump. Given the style he's worked over the years he needs security to avoid ending up in the state some of his former ECW coworkers are in these days.

I like Devon, although he is not as good as Bully. I wouldn't mind him having another run in WWE, he is in a lot better shape than he used to be and would be good to have a veteran guy in your midcard.
TESTIFY!!

I see the wrestling gods have finally granted my wish to never have to watch a Devon match ever again. Good friggin' riddance.
At the same time, I hope Ray stays. We all know WWE'll use him as BAStar fodder if he goes there.
