Update on the story
Backstage News On WWE SmackDown Creative, Road Dogg's Status And Future With Triple H In Power - WrestlingInc.com
Regarding rumors of "Road Dogg" Brian James replacing Ryan Ward as the head writer of
WWE SmackDown, James actually received a corporate promotion over Ward, according to The Wrestling Observer. The official title may be head consultant but that's not confirmed.
Ward and James are still sharing the job of pitching SmackDown creative to Vince McMahon, who then re-writes the scripts as he wants. James is also the one who reads the scripts to other producers at the production meetings and has been doing that for some time now.
While James got a promotion and is technically above Ward, Ward is still titled the lead writer for SmackDown. James and Ward have essentially been co-head writer of the show since it started receiving praise several months back.
The former DX member is said to be Triple H's emissary on SmackDown and is to be one of the major backstage power brokers going forward, especially when
Triple Htakes over.
So to clarify, the black excellence writer who molded NXT and Smackdown the past 3 years isnt leaving or losing his job...its just his white colleague (Who lowkey culturally appropiated and did black face back in the day) leaped frog over him for the corporate position promotion cause his friend chose him
