Did Road Dogg accidentally break an unwritten WWE rule on SmackDown? Analyzing what you probably missed

Road Dogg was on commentary for SmackDown tonight. The Hall of Famer joined Kevin Patrick and Michael Cole to call the action on the blue brand. Fans might be wondering if the real-life Brian James accidently broke an unwritten WWE rule.

For those unaware, Road Dogg namedropped his fellow New Age Outlaw Billy Gunn several times on commentary. The mentions could have got him in trouble with Vince McMahon previously, but he’ll probably be fine since Triple H now heads the creative.

Under The Game’s leadership, the commentary team on both Raw and SmackDown has started to show more personality while calling matches and segments. They’ve even begun to reference the superstar’s previous work on independents as well.

It’s worth mentioning that the D-Generation X star namedropped Billy Gunn during the triple threat tag team match featuring Pretty Deadly, The Brawling Brutes, and The Street Profits for a shot at the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford emerged victorious following a miscommunication between Butch and Ridge Holland. Dawkins and Ford were congratulated by their mentor Bobby Lashley, who arrived on the ramp after their win.
