The wrestling world was shaken by the sudden departure of WWE Hall of Famer Brian ‘Road Dogg’ James from the global sports entertainment juggernaut. Known for his time with D-Generation X during the Attitude Era and later as a mainstay in TNA, Road Dogg returned to WWE in 2011 and joined the creative team in 2014.
Last February, Road Dogg was promoted to the position of co-head writer of SmackDown, where fans were privy to some of the decisions he made during his creative tenure. However, recent reports have indicated that Road Dogg has left WWE, with no further details provided about his departure.
Speculation now swirls around whether Road Dogg may seek employment with AEW and fans have taken to social media to express their opinions. While some believe he could be a valuable addition to Tony Khan’s team, others warn against signing him due to criticism of his recent work.
Veteran wrestling figure Eric Bischoff recently defended Road Dogg after a clip from the show “Unreal” showcased him struggling to come up with new ideas for a storyline. Bischoff argued that judging Road Dogg based on a small snippet of a meeting was unfair and that his creative abilities should not be discounted.
As the wrestling world waits to see what the future holds for Road Dogg, the possibility of him joining AEW remains a topic of interest. Only time will tell where his next career move will take him, and whether he will indeed find a new home in Tony Khan’s promotion.
