The New Age Outlaws are a reunited act again, and they already have dream opponents in mind.
Road Dogg and Billy Gunn recently appeared together on Busted Open Radio in the wake of Road Dogg’s departure from WWE’s creative team, with the pair also surfacing in Las Vegas during WrestleMania 42 weekend.
Asked which modern tag teams they would want to face in their prime, each legend went a different direction. Both answers point toward matches that could realistically happen.
Billy Gunn picked his sons, Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn, who currently work in AEW as The Gunn Club. Road Dogg went with The Street Profits, praising Montez Ford as a bonafide superstar and calling Angelo Dawkins an athlete among athletes.
“I love the Street Profits, I think they’re great athletes,” Road Dogg said. “I think Montez is a superstar and everybody knows it. Dawkins is the unsung hero. Dawkins is an athlete of athletes.”
A Gunn Club vs. Outlaws Match Is Closer Than It Sounds
The Gunn Club answer is the one with real legs. Billy Gunn is still an active performer in AEW, where his sons work full-time, meaning a Gunns vs. Outlaws match would require no cross-promotional negotiation at all. Road Dogg has not wrestled since 2015, but he has floated the idea of stepping back in the ring for a one-off dumpster match in 2027.
The Street Profits angle carries its own weight given the timing. Ford and Dawkins made a surprise return on the Raw after WrestleMania 42, coming to the aid of Seth Rollins during an attack from The Vision. With Road Dogg no longer tied to WWE creative, the door is at least cracked for a conversation, even if the logistics are heavier.
For a team that built its name on attitude and family lineage, both answers fit. One just happens to be a phone call away.
