Dave Meltzer Addresses Road Dogg's AEW Hiring Claims
Brian 'Road Dogg' James recently claimed on social media that AEW did not hire him because of his conservative political views. This statement followed his departure from WWE in March and amid stalled negotiations with TNA for a creative role.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer responded to James' claims, stating that it is unfounded to attribute his lack of hiring to political beliefs. Meltzer noted that AEW employs individuals with conservative viewpoints and has not denied anyone employment based on their political stance.
The controversy began when James criticized the AEW tag titles, suggesting they were beneath The Gunns. Meltzer countered this view, indicating that James' comments reflected a misunderstanding of the AEW tag team championship.
