The 57-year-old veteran will team up with promoter Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal to face the opposing trio of QT Marshall, Brady Booker, and Elijah Drago.

Recent Career Shifts Lead to Independent Ring Return

Road Dogg parted ways with WWE earlier in March after growing unhappy with the creative direction of the company and his role as co-lead writer for the SmackDown creative team, wrestleview.com reported. Despite his resignation from the writing staff, he remains signed to WWE under a legends contract.

Following his departure from the active creative staff, industry reports pointed toward a potential move to join the TNA creative team during the Slammiversary pay-per-view event. However, those discussions ultimately stalled, leaving him off major television writing rosters before this independent booking for Jeff Jarrett’s promotion.
