Road Dogg Comments on His WWE Exit: ‘I Saw the Writing on Wall,’ Denies Rumors He Was Fired

As previously reported, rumors about WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg (aka Brian James) exiting the WWE creative team resurfaced this week when former WWE broadcaster Jonathan Coachman claimed on his podcast that Road Dogg was fired over his support for Chelsea Green, which was shown on WWE: Unreal on Netflix.

Fightful Select later denied Coachman’s claims, reporting that no less than six sources denied the broadcaster’s story, stating that Road Dogg left his position voluntarily,

Now Brian James has commented on the story himself via social media, stating that leaving was his decision and that he “quit.” He wrote, “I quit!!! @ImChelseaGreen is a national treasure NO MATTER THE NATION!!! I saw the writing on the wall. I’m hearing others are being pushed out too lol. Growth hurts sometimes. But just the ones YOU HURT during it.”

After leaving the promotion in March of this year, James commented the following month that the WWE schedule “was just moving too fast for me,” and he opted to step away so he could spend more time with his children and grandchildren.
