D-Von Dudley was recently a guest on the Wrestle Buddy podcast, where he spoke about the Usos adopting the 3D:
"I love it [The Usos using The 3D]. Thatās what people donāt get, The Usos and I at live events and things like that had talked about them using the 3D. They came to me and asked me about a year-and-a-half, maybe two years ago and I remember telling them, you know, āYou guys can use it. Me and Bubba not using it anymore. You know, so why not? Use it.ā I know The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) had tried it a couple times. The Bar tried it even at live events and you know, Bubba came back and said something, you know, āDonāt make me and D-Von come backā and I sat up there and said, āBubba, I told them to use it. We were talking about it,ā and so, I think itās great because again, weād been talking about this for months and so when I was watching the show [WWE Day 1] and I saw them use it, I was shocked.
I was ā I literally jumped out of my seat. I was like, āYes! Yes!ā You know? And I was like, āHe better not kick out, he better not kick out. Nobody kicks out of the 3Dā and there was no kick out so it was great. I loved it. I texted them and I told them, I said, āPhenomenal match on both parties.ā The New Day as well of course and I said, āTremendous finishā because I remember they were doing a splash or a double splash leading up and right before was the double superkick and there was a kick out. I was like, āOh my God.ā When I saw that, I said, āThere better be a huge finish after this because thereās no way they can do all of that, kick out and then have something that can compliment thatā and sure enough, they did. It was 3D."
On the 24/7 Championship segments:
"And the 24/7 Title with Reggie. Iāve had great times with those. All of those matches with Reggie were great. I enjoyed so much of it and you know, Vince [McMahon], he was able to give me ā he goes, āD-Von, thatās your baby. You have creative control. You know what I want, my vision. Go head and put your twist on itā and he let me, he allowed me to do that. He allowed me to be in charge of those matches and I think thatās why we were able to be as successful as we were with the 24/7."
