Road Dogg Mentions Which NXT Stars He Wants on Smackdown

48-year old Brian Girard James, better known to wrestling fans as Road Dogg, appeared on X-Pac’s 12360 Podcast.

Previously on the show, Pac mentioned that Road Dogg currently has creative control of Smackdown, and Vince is “letting him have the wheel”.

Highlights of Road Dogg on X-Pac’s Show

On Which NXT Stars He’d Love to Have on Smackdown:
“I would love to have Asuka. I think she is a huge star down at NXT and I think she can be an even huger star at the next level. So I’d love to have her.

I love Bobby Roode as a human being known him for years in TNA and nowhere (WWE) too you know it’s weird to say but AJ Styles is just getting better and better so I’m really really glad to have gotten him and to have kept him.

I like those Authors of Pain. They’re a big young group of guys really willing to learn and willing to perform, and they’re just getting better and better. Their instincts are good, their timing is good for a couple of big dudes. It seems like everyone down there is doing really well. You know I was really glad to get Tye Dillinger he’s a great guy.”

On Women’s Money in the Bank Match:
“It was an easy thing to want to do it but then we got to think about okay well dang what if one of these girls gets hurt on this ladder match what if something happens and is that on me? So it was a big talk with the girls to make sure that they were all game for it and of course, they were. It’s all about making history now.”

On MITB Going Between Brands:
“At this point, it’s going to be solely for SmackDown and so that’s the decision that was made and I think that’s okay because we want to keep the integrity of the brand extension.”
