Road Dogg talks he and Billy Gunn hypothetically headlining WrestleMania.
For the first time ever, 2023 became the year that a WWE Tag Team Championship match headlined a WrestleMania event. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated Jimmy and Jey Uso to capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship during the first night of WrestleMania 39.
This inspired a fan to ask Road Dogg who he would have liked to face in a main event of WrestleMania if he and Billy Gunn, collectively known as The New Age Outlaws, were given the opportunity to headline WrestleMania. On his "Oh… You Didn't Know?" podcast, the present-day WWE executive said he doesn't live in the past and would like to have challenged Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens for the WWE Tag Team Championship under the pretense that he and Billy could be in their primes.
"I don't live in yesterday, Jack. I live in today. So I want an opportunity at those Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships from Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. But I want me and Billy in our prime," he said. "I want us then, I want us in '98 vs. Kevin and Sami now, and I'll tell you why. Kevin and Sami can both go. They go at it. If you ever watch their matches — if you ever watch Kevin work with Gunther, he ain't scared of a lick. They will lay stuff in. That's exactly where me and Billy were in '98, is young and hungry and willing to find out. We were willing to eff around and [find out].
"1998 Outlaws vs. I'd say they're in their prime right now, but they probably are physically a little past that, to be quite honest with you, and I don't want to rip them off. I want them in their prime, too," Dogg continued. "That's right up me and Billy's alley. I want to be heels when we do it, too."
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have headlined three pay-per-views each this year. Each man got a singles main event against Roman Reigns early in the year before participating in two tag team championship headlining bouts at WWE WrestleMania and WWE Night of Champions, respectively.
