WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg praised Moxley, Reigns and Rollins while speaking on SportsKeeda's Wrestling Outlaws. He revealed that the three men were great inside the ring and credits them for not injuring him or his tag team partner Billy Gunn during their feud.
''Iwas watching so I knew what they had done because I was watching them, and they knew what I did. It was magic. They were really, really good. They were heels then, and they didn't hurt me, they took it easy on me. I love those matches, I still remember those matches to this day," Road Dogg said. (5:50 - 6:15)
Billy Gunn and Road Dogg had a short return run with the company, and the two even won tag team titles. They had a rivalry with The Shield in 2014, when the group was still new to the main roster.

Former seven-time World Champion Bret Hart recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter. He touched upon Vince McMahon's exit as the WWE Chairman and noted that unlike what most people think, he isn't happy about what happened to him.
''I feel kinda sad about it, actually. I know people probably think I would be gloating or happy to see him go through what he’s going [through], but I don’t. I feel bad that it happened, or whatever’s happened,'' said Hart.
Hart also said that McMahon will be sorely missed and that no one has had such a major impact on the business the way he has. Vince McMahon announced his retirement after multiple allegations against him surfaced when the Wall Street Journal reported that the WWE Board of Directors started investigating him.
