Recently D-Generation X celebrated their 25th anniversary, but the group was down a member as Billy Gunn didn’t appear on Raw because he’s currently working for AEW. Road Dogg noted on his podcast that Billy Gunn wanted to appear on the show, and WWE did everything they could to make it happen.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Tony Khan agreed to let Billy Gunn appear on Raw if WWE would agree to mention AEW on the air. The idea was that WWE would have to mention that Billy Gunn works for AEW, or that AEW allowed him to appear similar to when Mickie James appeared at the Royal Rumble while she was working for Impact.
WWE stalled when it came to giving a yes or no answer to the request and then at the last minute they declined. It was noted that if Triple H wanted to make it happen he could have. There’s also speculation that WWE didn’t want to have fans chanting “Daddy A**” on their show when Billy Gunn appeared.
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
