Former "WWE SmackDown" co-lead writer, and WWE Hall of Famer, "Road Dogg" Brian James departed the company at the beginning of March, and rumors surrounding his departure continue to fly. This week, a report from Fightful Select sought to debunk a rumor that James' departure was due to him getting fired over his support of former WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green.

Following the report, James took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the rumor himself. The star previously commented that the business was just "moving too fast for him," and he knew it was time to move on.

"I quit!!!" James posted. "@ImChelseaGreen is a national treasure NO MATTER THE NATION!!! I saw the writing on the wall I'm hearing others are being pushed out too lol Growth hurts sometimes But just the ones YOU HURT during it."

As the recent rumor of James' "firing" over his support of Green made the rounds, Fightful Select confirmed with multiple sources familiar with his situation that denied it. The sources reiterated to the outlet that James left the company of his own volition.

James was featured on the most recent season of Netflix's "WWE Unreal." During the season, his fellow writer and producer Michael PS Hayes was shown in an interview where he commented Green wouldn't become a main event star, but was a supporting act for the company's stars. With a massive swell of fan support behind her following the comments, Green would go on to win the interim, soon to be official, WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam in a multi-woman ladder match. The star recently dropped the title to Tiffany Stratton, via Money in the Bank cash-in, at WWE Crown Jewel.
