After enjoying an in-ring run alongside long-time partner Billy Gunn, contributed as a backstage producer and was reportedly being groomed for a more prominent role in WWE. Brian James eventually became SmackDown's head writer, a position he held until his resignation shortly after WrestleMania 35. The respected wrestler transitioned to a coach's role at the WWE Performance Center and continued taking promo and character development classes until his release. James was one of the many veterans ousted on January 5th, 2022, as WWE proceeded to revamp NXT. The former member is one of the brightest and most experienced minds in wrestling.
