WWE Hall of Famer Brian James informed WWE yesterday that he was stepping down as the co-lead writer of the Smackdown brand, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

James had been heading up the brand with Stephen Guerrieri (aka Steve G.) with James going on the road while Guerrieri would remain working out of WWE Headquarters in Stamford, CT. Guerreri has been working in creative since 2012 and has held a lead writer position since 2014.

Sources cited James' increasing frustration with changes made to the Smackdown scripting by Vince McMahon with James finally hitting a "breaking point" at this past Tuesday's Smackdown taping in Brooklyn, NY.

On his Twitter account yesterday, James wrote, "Today I pray that I face the change, that is inevitably coming, head on and with faith and courage. The only constant is change! #HOPE#FAITH #OUDK"

There is no word who may be replacing James in the role, although several WWE sources stated that the way creative is currently driven, the lead writer is more of a formality today vs. a specific voice that drives the show as everything pitched comes through the team for that series to Vince McMahon, is then approved (or shot down) by McMahon, who then tweaks the series all the way to the actual taping - as late as during the taping.

There is no confirmation yet whether James will be transitioning to another position within WWE.
 
Talked to someone over the weekend that thought they should use Undisputed Era like Bullet Club and make IT an institutional stable in NXT where they swap members in and out. Not sure I agree with IT, but IT isn't a terrible idea.


Could work if done right, I would suggest maybe Dijac give them some muscle

Interesting idea.

I can't think of anyone that could be added to the group though.

Dijakovic & ACH if they stick to just ex-ROH guys.

Marginally Hot Wife or Thicc Latina Teddy Ruxpin if they add a female

if Riddle turns heel anytime soon, then maybe him.

EDIT: or Buddy like B Sox B Sox said.
