Road Dogg is reportedly back.
Mike Johnson at PWInsider reports that Road Dogg (Brian James) is returning to WWE in an executive position. According to Johnson, James is set to assume the position of Senior Vice President of Live Events, the same position that Jeff Jarrett departed on August 21.
For over a decade, Road Dogg was a producer and writer for WWE, working his way up to become head writer of WWE SmackDown before heading to NXT to be a coach and producer. He was released by the company in January 2022.
In a July interview with Busted Open Radio, Road Dogg said he had been "begging" Tony Khan for a job at AEW and would be open to returning to NXT. Fans can find his full comments by clicking here.
Road Dogg previously said that Vince McMahon wanted to make him an executive, but that he couldn't handle things. McMahon retired as WWE CEO on July 22. Triple H assumed all creative duties in the company and became head of talent relations. Dogg worked with Triple H during his time at NXT along with their run together as part of D-Generation X during the Attitude Era.
