The WWE Universe has been in a bit of an uproar following a major shakeup on The Road to WrestleMania 41. Top stars have publicly defended the latest decision by Triple H and his team, and now JBL is sharing his two cents. As one of World Wrestling Entertainment's most loyal Hall of Famers through the years, John Bradshaw Layfield is continuing to back the company.
"Road Dogg" Brian James was reportedly promoted to the role of co-lead writer for WWE SmackDown. He and John Swikata will now lead creative for the brand. The news of the DX member's promotion to the Creative Writing team was largely met with negative feedback, which brought defensive statements from AJ Styles and others. Road Dogg was criticized for his work and blamed for the brand's decline after taking over as SmackDown lead writer in 2017.
