Road Dogg feels he was wronged by WWE
Wrestling veteran Road Dogg has opened up about his departure from the promotion.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Dogg was asked about what led to his departure. The veteran opened up and shared a detailed answer while also speaking about feeling wronged there.
“Did any of you watch Unreal? I’m old, so I’m not a fan; it’s a little behind the scenes. I feel like I don’t need to tell you what happened. I feel like if you watched that show, you saw what happened, and so here I sit. I’m happy with it,” he said.
“I have friends there that are still going to be there. I have gripes, I do have gripes, but saying that even sounds shitty to say. ‘Oh, you’re going to gripe about stuff?’ Why? People, there are still my friends. I feel like I was done a little wrong, and I feel like I was receiving a paycheck, and I didn’t have any purpose. I was making a dollar, but I wasn’t making any decisions.
“I think I can make a difference somewhere, where maybe I don’t make as many dollars. In this phase in my life, that’s what I’m thinking of,” he concluded.
Earlier this year, on March 5, a report emerged that Dogg, 56, had departed WWE after a 15-year stint at the promotion. He had been with the promotion since 2014. Dogg was also the co-lead writer on WWE SmackDown, a position he held from February 2025.
He also held multiple titles at WWE during his time there as an in-ring worker and is also a member of the 2019 class of the Hall of Fame as a part of D-Generation X.
