Briefly meme'd until Twitter moved on to the next thing six seconds later, Seth Rollins' exclusion from a D-Generation X/New World Order group hug was only made more potent because of catastrophic run he was having as Raw's top babyface in 2019.

A series of lousy tweets and not-that-much-better matches and promos had rendered Rollins a busted flush by the time he was trading the title with Brock Lesnar again in July and August. So much so that this shameless attempt at cross-era cross promotion didn't even work.

Revisit the July 22nd 2019 Raw to watch the segment play out - audiences can't be a*sed with the legends anymore, let alone the guy they're supposed to be giving the rub to.

The OC are ran off and the "heroes" celebrate, but Rollins can't get in on any of it even after a corny delivery of the "two words" closing salvo. The old guard are - if literally nothing else - mirroring the attitude of the crowd at large.

And it wasn't even the first time for Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash...
