Dogg said that it was just a conversation between the two and not a confrontation as such. 

While speaking on his Oh! You Didn’t Know podcast, Dogg said- “It was a conversation, it was not a ‘blow-up’ I went and found him, and people saw that and people talked and all of a sudden it turns into something. Really, it had nothing to do with Jeff Jarrett leaving. ” He further said that he discussed how the animosity between Austin and Jarrett might have destroyed a good opportunity. 

Dogg termed the opportunity as the perfect rehab program for Austin as he had just returned to action from a knee surgery. If further said that while the program between the two might not have been the hottest one, it could have surely helped Steve Austin to get back in the flow. Road Dogg said that this is all what he talked about with Steve Austin that day and it had nothing to do with Jeff Jarrett leaving the company.
