Road Dogg Update
Brian “Road Dogg” James will be taking an extended break from WWE after stepping down as SmackDown head writer last week, according to PWInsider.
He is still employed by WWE and when he returns, everyone involved will assess the situation and see where he may fit into the company going forward, PWInsider says. There’s currently no timetable for his return.
It was previously reported that James stepped down because he had been growing increasingly frustrated with changes that were made to SmackDown scripts and storylines by Vince McMahon, and was tired of working long hours only to have his work undone.
