Hall of Famer Road Dogg recently revealed that Vince McMahon had faith in him to be a singles star after his split with Billy Gunn.

The New Age Outlaws were one of the foremost tag teams in pro wrestling history and won six tag team titles in WWE. The pair rose to prominence in the late 1990s as members of the D-Generation X. James and Gunn were the most popular duo throughout WWE's Attitude Era and continue to be remembered fondly by fans. They also won the Intercontinental Title once each, while Road Dogg won the Hardcore Championship.

On the latest edition of the Oh You Didn't Know podcast, Dogg revealed that McMahon gave him a green signal to part ways with Billy Gunn and be on his own, which would be helpful for their careers.

"He [Vince McMahon] tells me, 'You're gonna be great, like this is gonna be good for you and it's gonna be good for Billy.' I knew it was gonna be good for Billy because I knew what they [WWE] had in mind and I know what he looked like," Road Dogg said. [0:02 - 0:13]
