DX was the spark in the powderkeg that led to the Attitude Era. Remember, while Austin was out with a broken neck DX came along and continued to push the envelope and get that sort of content over. Sort of amazing how DX came at the perfect time when Austin broke his neck. Austin returned at Survivor Series, the Screwjob happened, and the revolution had gone into overdrive.
WWE has overstated the importance of some DX moments, such as them "invading" WCW, but overall DX (especially in its original run with HHH/Michaels) was very important in the shift to "Attitude".
