    Cody Rhodes vs The Duke? : Devon & The Duke Episode 61

    Welcome back to the 3-time award-winning Devon & The Duke! This week, the contrast couldn't be sharper. We’ve got one host battling a historic natural disaster and the other basically living in a Jimmy Buffett song. It’s a tale of two climates, a clash of wrestling philosophies, and a deep dive into the never-ending soap opera of the wrestling world. Inside This Episode: The Great Blizzard of 2026: Duke kicks things off reporting live from the trenches—specifically 30 inches of snow in Boston. While Duke was busy looking like a frozen Yeti (beard icicles and all), Devon was living his best life in 75-degree Florida sunshine. The bickering reaches an all-time high as Duke threatens to call Devon’s Mother, The Bishop, while shoveling out from one of the biggest blizzards in modern history. Cody Rhodes vs. The Duke: The American Nightmare says wrestlers are getting "too soft" about fan criticism, but Duke isn't buying it. Duke reveals some spicy behind-the-scenes exchanges where Cody called him "rude," leading to a hilarious segment where Duke asks Devon how to "politely" tell Cody he sucks. Devon’s Revenge: Fed up with Duke trying to book him against the terrifying Oba Femi, Devon hatches a plan for payback. Forget Devon vs. "The Ruler"—Devon wants to see Cody Rhodes straighten Duke out inside an Elimination Chamber! Vince, Hulk, and the Highway: We analyze the newly released footage of Vince McMahon’s July 2025 car crash. Duke connects the dots to the tragic passing of Hulk Hogan on that same day, leading to a serious (but necessary) conversation: Is Vince just too rich & old to be behind the wheel? The Dillon Hines Saga (2 Years Later): It’s the story that brought Devon & The Duke together in the first place, and it’s still as messy as a Jerry Springer finale. From berating Bobby Fulton to his latest "accomplishment"—bragging about an affair with a promoter’s wife—Dillon Hines is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. We break down the latest drama involving RVD, Tony Atlas, and why Dillon needs to get his act together. Don’t miss a second of the chaos! Whether you’re shoveling snow or tanning on a beach, this episode has something to keep you heated. #DevonAndTheDuke #Blizzard2026 #CodyRhodes #WrestlingPodcast #ObaFemi #VinceMcMahon #HulkHogan #DillonHines #ProWrestling #BostonSnow #FloridaLife #WWE #EliminationChamber ** Shop better hydration today.

    Kevin Nash "Bojangles" Controversy: Devon & the Duke Episode 60

    In this landmark 60th episode, the 3-time award-winning duo of WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley and Duke Loves Rasslin tackle one of the most polarizing conversations in the industry today. This isn't just a wrestling breakdown; it’s a "grown folk" conversation filled with nuance, history, and the intelligent perspective listeners have come to expect from Devon and Duke. The hosts dive deep into the recent controversy surrounding Kevin Nash’s comments regarding WWE Superstar Je’Von Evans, where Nash suggested the young phenom should be less "Bojangles" and more "Urban." Inside this episode: The Nash Perspective: Devon Dudley draws on decades of personal experience working with Kevin Nash to provide context on the man behind the microphone. Devon explains why he firmly believes Nash is not a racist, citing a long, documented history of Nash supporting marginalized people and minorities in the business. Poor Delivery vs. Malice: Devon breaks down how a message intended for character development was poorly conveyed, leading to a disconnect between intent and impact. Accountability in Allyship: The Duke weighs in, arguing that while we shouldn't "throw the baby out with the bathwater" given Nash’s history as a staunch ally to wrestlers of color, no one is exempt from accountability when they miss the mark. The Excellence of Je’Von Evans: Duke highlights how the 21-year-old Evans is the manifestation of generations of Black wrestlers who endured systemic racism. Because of their sacrifices, Evans is now judged solely on his "through the roof" talent—a talent that has seen him reach the WWE main roster in just two years. A Teachable Moment: The duo uses this situation to discuss broader themes of representation and assessment that apply to all walks of life. AJ Styles Retirement Scoop: In a shocking revelation, Devon Dudley shares that he has known about AJ Styles’ retirement plans for months, revealing that the "Phenomenal One" personally told him early last winter that the end of his in-ring career was approaching quickly. This episode is a masterclass in how to have difficult conversations with maturity and respect. Whether you’re a fan of the "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash, a supporter of the rising star Je'Von Evans, or just looking for the inside track on AJ Styles, this is a must-listen. #DevonAndTheDuke #KevinNash #JeVonEvans #AJStyles #WWE #WrestlingNews ** Shop better hydration today.
