• Billy Gunn Comments On When He Thinks New Age Outlaws Will Get Inducted Into The WWE Hall of Fame
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Old School WWF Veteran Billy Gunn talked about the DX reunion at RAW 25 being rushed, if he still gets royalties from DX merchandise, when he thinks the New Age Outlaws (himself and Road Dogg) will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and more.
Below are the highlights:
On the DX reunion at RAW 25 being rushed:
“Well you’re looking at the end of the show, they’re trying to go back and forth between two buildings. We’re in the Manhattan Center and of course everybody says they were getting mad but how do you spread all of that out? It’s the 25th anniversary, you want to go back to the place you started, but you can’t have all of the talent there, I don’t know if you’ve been there but it’s little. It was rushed a little bit, but it’s the end of the show and you’re trying to shove 200 talents into a 3 hour show. So yeah, a little rugged.”
On if he still gets royalties from DX merchandise:
“I do. I do. Anything that has my name that I own on it. Yeah, I get a little bit. But I mean you’re talking like of a half a cent of a half of a cent but it’s still something.”
On when he thinks the New Age Outlaws will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame:
“I think they’ll put me and Brian in as strictly tag stuff, then it will be a few years and they’ll induct Hunter. When they induct Hunter, the next year it’ll be the DX thing.”
• Title Match Announced For This Week’s SmackDown Live
WWE announced the following:
Jeff Hardy to defend the United States Title against Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown LIVE
“The United States Championship will be contested this Tuesday night on SmackDown LIVE.

As General Manger of #SDLive, it’s my responsibility to make matches that you want to SEE … so, I’m making it official. @JeffHardyBrand will defend the #USTitle against @ShinsukeN THIS Tuesday.
