D-Von Dudley provides health update after suffering a stroke

WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley (real name Devon Hughes) says he is almost back to full health after he suffered a stroke recently.

“I’m doing alright. I’m getting stronger and stronger each day. I was denying it and wasn’t saying anything before, but I’ll let it out now. I had a stroke and now I’m doing so much better. I’m back to my normal self almost.” [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
