In 1999, Buh Buh Ray and D-Von left ECW and joined the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]], where the "Buh Buh" stutter-spelling of "Bubba Ray Dudley" was rescinded. Throughout 2000 and 2001, the Dudley Boyz engaged in a three way feud for the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|WWF Tag Team Championship]] with [[Hardy Boyz|The Hardy Boyz]] and [[Edge and Christian]]. The feud incorporated two critically acclaimed [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match]]es, the first at [[SummerSlam 2000|SummerSlam]] in 2000 and the second at [[WrestleMania X-Seven]]. While they were initially [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heels]], one of the things Bubba Ray was known for was driving women through tables including WWE Divas [[Terri]], [[Mae Young]], [[Amy Dumas|Lita]], [[Trish Stratus]], [[Tori]] [[Torrie Wilson]], [[Stacy Keibler]] and [[Jazz]]. The Dudley Boyz were soon cheered by the crowd and were [[List of professional wrestling terms#T|turned]] [[Face (professional wrestling)|face]] in early 2000. On the December 28, 2000 episode of ''[[SmackDown!]]'', Bubba received a title shot against [[WWF Champion]] [[Kurt Angle]], which he lost after an [[Professional wrestling throws#Olympic slam|Angle Slam]] through a table. In early 2001, The Dudleys were joined in the WWF by [[Matt Hyson|Spike Dudley]].

In mid-2001, the Dudley Boyz turned heel once again by joining [[The Alliance (professional wrestling)|The Alliance]], a large [[List of professional wrestling terms#S|stable]] of former ECW and [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) wrestlers led by [[Shane McMahon]] and [[Stephanie McMahon|Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley]] who attempted to take over the WWF (Spike, along with several other ECW alumni, did not join The Alliance). The [[The Invasion (professional wrestling)|ECW-WCW invasion]] ended at the [[Survivor Series (2001)|Survivor Series]], when five WWF wrestlers defeated five Alliance wrestlers in a match to determine the ownership of the WWF. The Alliance disbanded and its members left the WWF, but the Dudley Boyz retained their jobs due to their possession of the WWF Tag Team Championship, which they had unified with the [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|WCW Tag Team Championship]] that night.

Following [[WrestleMania X8]], in May 2002 the WWF was renamed "World Wrestling Entertainment" (WWE) and the roster was divided into two brands, ''[[WWE Raw|Raw]]'' and ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown|SmackDown!]]''. The Dudley Boyz were separated when Bubba Ray was [[WWE Brand Extension#Superstar selections|drafted]] to Raw and D-Von to ''SmackDown!''. On ''Raw'', Bubba Ray found moderate success as he competed for the [[WWE Hardcore Championship]], formed a tag team with Spike, and even competed in a [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] match against [[Triple H]]. D'Von's new [[List of professional wrestling terms#G|gimmick]] on ''SmackDown!'' failed to [[List of professional wrestling terms#G|get over]], however, and he was reunited with Bubba Ray and Spike on November 17, 2002 when he returned to the ''Raw'' brand.

The Dudley Boyz became a staple in the Raw tag team division over the next sixteen months, feuding with teams such as [[3-Minute Warning]], [[La Résistance (professional wrestling)|La Résistance]], and various combinations of [[The Un-Americans]]. They held the WWF World Tag Team Championship several more times before being [[2004 WWE Draft Lottery#Post-draft trades|traded]] (along with [[Booker Huffman|Booker T]]) to ''SmackDown!'' on March 22, 2004 in exchange for [[Triple H]]. Shortly after arriving on ''SmackDown!'', the Dudley Boyz turned heel once again, siding with Paul Heyman and feuding with [[Rob Van Dam]] and [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.|Rey Mysterio]]. On May 27, the Dudley Boyz kidnapped [[Paul Bearer]], the [[Manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] of Heyman's enemy [[The Undertaker]]. On June 27 at [[The Great American Bash 2004|The Great American Bash]], The Undertaker defeated the Dudley Boyz in a handicap match. In July, the Dudley Boyz reunited with Spike. For the remainder of the year, they assisted Spike in his matches for the [[WWE Cruiserweight Championship]]. They also won the [[WWE Tag Team Championship]] one more time. In early 2005, the Dudley Boyz were removed from WWE television and sent to [[Ohio Valley Wrestling]] while the WWE creative team attempted to devise an [[List of professional wrestling terms#A|angle]] for them.
