Back in 2006, “The Perfect 10” featured in a segment alongside D-Generation X at Cyber Sunday. Shawn Michaels was quarreling with Triple H in a hilarious conversation and was told that he doesn’t understand the meaning of controversial.

Following that, Michaels came across Dillinger who appeared as an employee called ‘Stan’. An infuriated HBK would then go on to deliver a brutal superkick to take down ‘The Perfect 10’.

After spending a few years in ECW and the Independent circuit, Dillinger returned to WWE in 2013, He performed at NXT but could not get his hands on the gold. A couple of years ago, he was moved to SmackDown but he couldn’t capture any Championship on the Blue brand either.
