Brian “Road Dogg” James resigned from WWE, disputing firing rumors

Reports have disputed claims that Brian “Road Dogg” James was fired from WWE due to his support for wrestler Chelsea Green. Speculation regarding his departure gained traction after former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman alleged on a podcast that James was dismissed for advocating for Green to receive more opportunities.

However, multiple sources familiar with the situation have indicated that James resigned from his position as SmackDown co-lead writer voluntarily. James previously stated that the workload had become overwhelming and that he wished to spend more time with his family. He also expressed feeling that he lacked meaningful input in creative decisions during his tenure.
