Road Dogg thinks the Motor City Machine Guns would be a good fit in WWE.

Road Dogg returned to WWE as the Senior Vice President of Live Events in August 2022. During his time with TNA, he held the NWA World Tag Team Championship twice.

Speaking on Oh…You Didn’t Know, Road Dogg was asked to name a wrestler from his time in TNA that he was surprised never had a run in WWE. He emphasized that he thought the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) would have been a great fit in WWE.

“Abyss is of course the first one that comes to mind. But I think Kurt Angle surprised me [laughs]. No, I don’t know. A lot of great talent came through there. But I feel like all of them had opportunities at other places too. But I thought about this the other day, actually. The Motor City Machine Guns. As a team, I think they would fit perfect, and I think they’d be good WWE superstars. I don’t know how old they are now and if they’re ready still to run that kind of schedule. But I thought they would have been…I loved working with them when I was there because I knew they were the future, and I knew I was already the past. I wasn’t even the present anymore. So it was really fun to get to work with those guys. So they’re some that I’m surprised that never [got an opportunity]. I say they didn’t make it anywhere big, but they’ve made a career out of wrestling on the independent circuit or Japan or whatever. So I’m short-changing them and I don’t mean to be,” Road Dogg said.

Shelley currently holds the IMPACT World Championship, and Sabin is the reigning IMPACT X-Division Champion. They are one of the most influential tag teams of their generation, and they have competed all over the world.

During the podcast, Road Dogg praised Cameron Grimes. Click here to see what he had to say.

Alex Shelley previously stated that if the pandemic did not happen, fans might have been more of Time Splitters (Shelley and KUSHIDA) in WWE. Check out his comments here.
