Stacy Keibler became the Dudleys' manager during this time- dubbed the "Duchess of Dudleyville" by ECW manager Paul Heyman-but she later cost the Dudleys a tag team match, and they put her through a table. During this time, the Dudleys acted as enforcers of the Alliance, interfering on the behalf of Alliance mid-carders and main eventers. In mid-2001, the Dudley Boyz became villains again by joining The Alliance, a massive group of wrestlers mostly consisting of invading ECW and other superstars led by Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, who attempted to take over the WWF. The second was at WrestleMania X-Seven in April 2001, in which Spike Dudley (who had joined the WWF in early-2001) interfered to aid the Dudleys. The feud incorporated two Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) matches, the first at SummerSlam in 2000. Throughout 20, the Dudley Boyz engaged in a three way feud for the WWF Tag Team Championship with the Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian. They would then feud with D-Generation X which culminated in a tag team table dumpster match at King of the Ring 2000 in which Bubba drove Tori through a table. They were initially villains and were known for Bubba Ray's penchant for driving women (including Terri, Trish Stratus, Tori, B.B., Lita, Torrie Wilson, Jazz, Stacy Keibler, Molly Holly and Mae Young) through tables however they became fan favorites in mid-2000 when they engaged in a feud with T & A. While part of the WWF, the Dudley Boyz's claim to fame was bringing the use of tables as weapons into the wrestling mainstream, often using their signature double-team move, the 3D, to put their opponents through one of these tables. After several weeks, most of the gimmick was dropped. D-Von would then slap Bubba in the back of the head to help him get his words out. Upon joining the company, Bubba Ray began to stutter during his promos. In 1999, Bubba Ray and D-Von joined the WWF.
