Road Dogg Says WWE Wanted Him In 2002 For DX Reunion, But He Was In Jail

WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg recently took to his podcast, “Oh… You Didn’t Know?,” to talk about several professional wrestling topics.

During the podcast, Road Dogg talked about the rumors that WWE wanted him back in 2002 for a DX reunion, and WWE going ahead with the reunion with just Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

WWE wanting him for a DX reunion in 2002:

“Yep, true. I literally was like in jail or something when they went — there’s a funny story I should have told about on the other podcast that we did about Russo going, ‘Look, I’m trying to get DX back together, bro. Road Dogg’s in jail. Chyna’s over here; she’s doing this. I’m gonna bring in X-Pac, and he’s gonna come in.’

That was a shoot conversation that was had. Like it was that WWA deal. I had a contract, and they were promoting me, and I was supposed to be in Vegas for the pay-per-view, and I’m in jail in Milton, Florida. And like, people are looking at me like, ‘You’re supposed to be there, right?’ It’s not gonna happen. I’m not gonna have the match for the world title.”

WWE going ahead with the reunion with just Triple H and Shawn Michaels:

“Shawn and Triple H could never figure out, are they together? Are they separate? You know what I mean? So it’s awesome that they come together and they do this DX thing, but they’re so good at what they do. I hate to leave them together. If I’m in charge of creative, you know what I mean? Those guys can be top guys on either side of the roster. Either one of them, and they are draws, and I could use that and so it’s hard to put them together and make sense of it all and qualify it anyway.”
