Vince Russo Claims Brian “Road Dogg” James Became WWE Creative “Scapegoat”
Brian "Road Dogg" James stepped away from his position as co-lead writer for SmackDown after being unhappy with feedback during his annual performance review, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Former WWE writer Vince Russo claims James became a "scapegoat" for broader creative issues within WWE, arguing that leadership blamed him rather than taking responsibility themselves. Reports indicate James chose to resign from his role after more than a decade with WWE's creative team, though there has been no indication from the company that he was forced out.
