No one was happy that Billy Gunn missed D-Generation X’s 25th Anniversary Reunion.
Triple H, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, and Road Dogg closed the October 10 episode of WWE Raw as they celebrated DX’s 25th anniversary. Noticeably absent from the event was Billy Gunn, who is currently under contract with AEW.
According to Road Dogg on the most recent edition of his OYDK podcast, everything was done to get Billy there, but for whatever reason, it couldn’t get done. He adds that every member of the group was not happy with this outcome.
“It broke my heart, and I believe it broke his too. In all actuality, Hunter was not happy about it either. Shawn and X-Pac weren’t either. We wanted the band, all that we could get back together. Chyna is there in spirit. That didn’t happen. From what I understand, and I’m not in those inner circles anymore, and for my sanity rightfully so and thankful. I don’t know the exact reason, but I was told everything that we could do was done, and we couldn’t come together. During the day prior, I texted him, ‘Hey, are you going to be able to make it? Have you found out any answers yet?’ He said, ‘Yes, I’m in.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s awesome.’ Literally, before I landed at home, I found out he was not in. I texted him back and he wasn’t happy either. It just didn’t work, no matter what. I understand. Whatever. I understand we’re [AEW and WWE] not huge fans of each other from a business standpoint. It was a big deal, and I feel like he got ripped off and didn’t live it with us. I’m sorry for that. I know he is too,” he said.
