A new report has named a WWE Hall of Famer as the new co-Lead Writer of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider has reported that Brian "Road Dogg" James is now the new Co-Lead Writer of WWE SmackDown, joining John Swikata in the role.

Road Dogg is a former WWE Tag Team Champion and WWE Intercontinental Champion. The New Age Outlaws member was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of D-Generation X in 2019
