Both teams were former WWE Tag Team Champions in their own right. The Outlaws had the honor of winning it six times (five-time WWF World Tag Team Champions and one-time WWE Tag Team Champion).

Meanwhile, FTR won the RAW, SmackDown and NXT Tag Team Championships, establishing them as the first-ever WWE Tag Team Triple Crown winners.

On Twitter, a fan asked AEW President Tony Khan to book a dream match between the Outlaws and FTR. Road Dogg responded by refusing the proposal, saying that he is too old for that right now.

Despite Brian James (Road Dogg's real name) rejecting the idea of him and Gunn going head-to-head with Dax and Cash, the proposed dream match could turn a lot of eyeballs. With their contrasting styles, it will be interesting to see if a potential bout will take place in AEW, now that FTR and Billy are currently employed there.


Fans encouraged WWE legend Road Dogg in light of proposed dream match with AEW's FTR

Road Dogg's dismissal from the New Age Outlaws-FTR dream match was met with some positive remarks from fans, especially from die-hard followers of him and Billy Gunn's team.

The encouraging remarks from Twitter netizens could possibly elicit Road Dogg to give the proposed dream match a go. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what FTR will say about all of this.
