Road Dogg was a key figure in WWE creative, but he shocked the world earlier this year when he made the decision to part ways with the company. At the time it was reported he had quit, but other rumors regarding his departure have been making the rounds over the last few days.
Former WWE star Jonathan Coachman recently claimed on The Coach & Bro Show that Road Dogg was fired from WWE earlier this year due to his support for Chelsea Green.
“I mean, a guy got fired. He got fired over his support for Chelsea Green. Let’s say what it is. Brian James got fired. Yeah, that’s what happened because he thought Chelsea, and it’s amazing now, whatever it’s been, six months, a year since he left, and now I wonder what he feels about when he sees her on top, and he’s like, ‘I’ve already, I said that a year ago or a year and a half ago.’ That’s got to be so incredibly frustrating,” Coachman said.
Fightful Select is reporting that no less than a dozen sources familiar with the situation denied the claim. All of them reiterated that Road Dogg quit the company, and was not fired.
