• Why Road Dogg Decided To Leave WWE
Despite rumors of a creative shakeup at WWE, “Road Dogg” Brian James was not fired — he actually quit. According to PWInsider, James walked away from his job on the creative team in person.
Sources within the company say that James had been unhappy for a while and chose to hand in his resignation rather than being let go. While some fans thought he was part of a round of cuts, it was actually the other way around: he chose to leave the position himself.
Cory Hays of Bodyslam reported the following: “Road Dogg was upset with his diminishing role in creative in recent months and decided to walk away today. One person I’ve spoken to stated that it seemed like it was almost inevitable that Road Dogg was on the way out.”
Interestingly, WWE just put tickets on sale for a meet-and-greet with him in Las Vegas. While the timing seems strange, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s staying. Because he has a separate Legends deal with the company, he will likely still show up for those fan events even though he no longer works behind the scenes.

• WWE Signs Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Niece, Zoe Hines
WWE has signed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s niece, Zoe Hines. Here’s what RFK Jr. said during his speech at University of Florida:
“Linda McMahon is a very close friend. My niece, Zoe Hines, recently signed a contract with WWE, which Linda has a lot to do with, to become a wrestler, and I’m really looking forward to knowing so many good doctors who can treat her after.”
Zoe Hines received a tryout with WWE during the SummerSlam 2025 weekend.
Kennedy currently serves as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services in President Donald Trump’s cabinet. Zoe is the daughter of Rebecca Hines, who is the sister of Kennedy’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, making Zoe his niece by marriage.
Zoe and her mother were backstage at the Clash In Paris premium live event back in August 2025.
The Wrestling Observer previously reported that there is said to be a feeling backstage that WWE could face external pressure to give Zoe a significant push, given her connection to one of the most recognizable political families in the United States.
