It looks like there were plans to bring in all members of DX in 2002, but some were unable to return to WWE for the angle.
On the latest episode of the Oh… You Didn’t Know? Podcast Road Dogg was asked if were any rumors that WWE wanted to bring him back for a D-Generation X reunion in 2002. Road Dogg confirmed the story, and he said he was in jail at the time, so there was no way for it to work.
“I literally was like in jail or something when they went — there’s a funny story I should have told about on the other podcast that we did about Russo going, ‘Look, I’m trying to get DX back together, bro. Road Dogg’s in jail. Chyna’s over here; she’s doing this. I’m gonna bring in X-Pac, and he’s gonna come in.’
“That was a shoot conversation that was had. Like it was that WWA deal. I had a contract, and they were promoting me, and I was supposed to be in Vegas for the pay-per-view, and I’m in jail in Milton, Florida. And like, people are looking at me like, ‘You’re supposed to be there, right?’ It’s not gonna happen. I’m not gonna have the match for the world title.”

WWE did a proper DX reunion in 2006 up until Michaels’ in-ring retirement in 2010 and the group has appeared sporadically on television for anniversary events over the years.
