‘Road Dogg’ Brian James has revealed his current role in WWE with the company having reduced the number of live events over recent months.

News of WWE’s plans to reduce the number of untelevised house shows emerged in September 2024 noting that they were ‘marginally profitable’.

With WWE running fewer house show throughout the year compared to the past, Senior Vice President of Live Events ‘Road Dogg’ Brian James has revealed his current role.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, James revealed he’s still overseeing creative of live events and that the plan in 2025 is to find the ‘sweet spot’ for the shows, saying:

“So really, I’m still in charge of creative of live events. But now we have scaled live events back.

“Domestically, especially this coming year, we’re going to find out where our sweet spot is, but a lot of overseas live events coming up this year, there’s huge money there.

“The business side of things right now is so far beyond what they have ever been before, even Attitude, all that stuff is just putting shame what the business is doing now with Hunter at the Helmsley (laughs). I know, I’m sorry. I’m a granddad.”

In addition to his executive role, James was recently reported as being the new co-lead writer for WWE SmackDown alongside John Swikata.

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, James also opened up about his long-held belief that their was animosity between himself and CM Punk only to discover that this was not the case.
