The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Brian "Road Dogg" James resigned from WWE after being "unhappy" with his annual performance review. James, who served as co-lead writer for SmackDown, reportedly made the decision to step away on Thursday following the evaluation. His exit comes as WWE restructures its creative leadership, including the promotion of Alexandra Williams to VP and Lead Writer of RAW. John Swikata will continue to lead the SmackDown creative team in James' absence. #WWE #RoadDogg #SmackDown
