20 WWE Royal Rumble Undercard Nightmares
19. New Age Outlaws Vs. The Acolytes (2000)
This insulting title match at 2000's Madison Square Garden Royal Rumble only served to highlight the gulf in class that was opening up between the old guards of the tag division and the new faces that were finally starting to break through.
Following on from the memorable Dudley Boyz/Hardy Boyz tables match earlier in the card, the New Age Outlaws still had a dynamic opening schtick. But the act was beginning to feel rather dated, not least in their current role as Triple H's goons in a reformed heel D-Generation-X.
A cert to take an absolute kicking from - and probably lose their titles to - Bradshaw and Faarooq, the match was booked to immediately rush to the run-in finish, with the Outlaws stealing an achingly cheap win two minutes after Acolytes had worked through all their signature spots.
It was the beginning of the end for the New Age Outlaws in their original pomp within WWE, as Billy Gunn would soon pick up a rotator cuff injury en route to a title loss to the Dudley Boyz, and the duo would disband until their TNA reunion in 2005.
