The Dudley Boyz reportedly signed new contracts with WWE but had yet been officially executed and within the last week, both sides amicably agreed to part ways. As seen on RAW, The Dudley Boyz said their goodbye on the show and did an angle with The Shining Stars, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson.
The reason WWE did the angle was to put some heel heat on Anderson and Gallows, according to PWinsider.com. When The Dudleyz walked from the ring to the backstage area after the angle, the entire RAW roster, as well as WWE officials and the McMahons, gave them a standing ovation.
