• “If You Think Vince McMahon Is Bad, Stephanie Is 10 Times Worse” – WWE Hall Of Famer
On the Dukes Loves Rasslin podcast, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley shared glowing praise for Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, while joking that Stephanie can be “ten times worse” than her father Vince McMahon when crossed.
“I always said don’t double-cross her,” D-Von said. “If you think Vince is bad, Stephanie’s probably ten times worse. She’s tough, smart, and she gets things done.”
Despite the warning, D-Von was full of admiration for Stephanie’s intelligence, leadership, and kindness.
“She learned from her dad, from Pat Patterson – she’s extremely smart. She was always pleasant, genuine, and loyal to the locker room.”
He revealed that Stephanie helped him creatively during his “Reverend D-Von” run, brainstorming ideas that helped improve the character.
“She listened, she gave suggestions, and for a few matches it really worked,” D-Von recalled. “I’ll always be indebted to her for that.”
He also praised Triple H and the McMahon family as a whole:
“I’ve never had an issue with any of them. They were good to me, and I’m not afraid to say it. Why wait until someone’s gone to give them their flowers?”
D-Von added that his gratitude isn’t about business – it’s about authenticity.
“People say I’m just saying this because WWE still pays me. That’s stupid. I’m saying it because it’s true.”
• Randy Orton’s Potential Return Date Revealed
Randy Orton hasn’t appeared on WWE programming since the October 3th episode of SmackDown, where he came to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes’ aid against The Vision.
That night, Orton teamed with Rhodes to face Bron Breakker and “Big” Bronson Reed, but the duo came up short after Reed pinned Orton following interference from Seth Rollins in the main event.
The former WWE Champion is currently advertised for the post-Survivor Series episode of SmackDown on December 5th in Austin, Texas. This doesn’t necessarily confirm that he will return that night – he could return earlier – but his next listed appearance on WWE’s website is for that episode.
The Viper was recently in Belize, where he celebrated his tenth anniversary with his wife, Kim Orton.
