In March of 2026, it was reported that “Road Dogg” Brian James left his creative team position with WWE. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted that James “expressed his unhappiness and tendered his resignation.”

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Road Dogg discussed his decision…

“Did any of you watch [Unreal]? I know you’re not a fan of the show. I’m old, so I’m not a fan of it either. It’s a little behind the scenes. I don’t need to tell you what happened. I feel like if you watch that show, you saw what happened. And, and so here I sit with you tonight, and I’m happy, man, because of it. I have friends there that are still gonna be there.

I have gripes. I do have gripes, but in saying that, it even sounds sh*tty to say, like, ‘oh, you’re just gonna gripe about some stuff then?’ Like, why? What? Some of the people there are still my friends.

I feel like I was done a little wrong, and I feel like I was receiving a paycheck and I didn’t have any purpose. I was making a dollar, but I wasn’t making any decisions. I was, you know what I mean? I think I can make a difference somewhere where maybe I don’t make as many dollars. And that, in this phase of my life, that’s what I’m thinking about.”
