ROAD DOGG-WWE UPDATE

WWE Hall of Famer Brian "Road Dogg" James is now working full-time on the WWE NXT brand, PWInsider.com has learned. James started working at the Performance Center recently, but his official role and title has yet to be confirmed. He made a cameo today on the WWE Combine broadcast on the WWE Network.

Last month, James informed WWE that he was stepping down as the co-lead writer of the Smackdown brand. James had been heading up the brand with Stephen Guerrieri (aka Steve G.) with James going on the road while Guerrieri would remain working out of WWE Headquarters in Stamford, CT.

Sources at the time cited James' increasing frustration with changes made to the Smackdown scripting by Vince McMahon with James finally hitting a "breaking point" at last month's Smackdown taping in Brooklyn, NY.
