The legendary group D-Generation X was formed on October 13, 1997. It initially consisted of Chyna, Shawn Michaels, Rick Rude, and Triple H.
Rude left the company WWE a month later when he joined WWE's rivals WCW.
The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels took a break from WWE after losing the WWE Championship to Stone Cold Steve Austin in the WrestleMania 14 main event.
The night after Shawn Michaels lost the WWE Championship and took a break from the company the following night, The New Age Outlaws (Billy Gunn and Road Dogg) joined Chyna, Triple H, and X-Pac in a new-look D-Generation X without Michaels.
The Heartbreak Kid was not happy about the new look of D-Generation X that was formed after his departure.
In the latest episode of Mick Foley's podcast , Foley mentioned,"Vince Russo was really bummed out at the post-Mania party. 'Hey, Vince, what's wrong?' and he was really down. He'd received a browbeating from Shawn Michaels about how they'd really weakened DX."
Mick Foley further said, "I guess Shawn knew that Road Dogg and Billy were joining. Man, within 24 hours, they had every bit of heat back and then some, tenfold."
Years later Billy Gunn, Chyna (posthumous), Michaels, Road Dogg, Triple H, and X-Pac were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 as D-Generation X members.
