"Road Dogg" Brian James last wrestled for WWE in 2015 and was recently asked about a massive return to the ring against Seth Rollins.

James had been associated with WWE as a coach at their Performance Center for the past couple of years. During his in-ring career, the veteran captured the Intercontinental Championship and World Tag Team Championship on multiple occasions. However, he was released from his contract in January 2022.

On the latest episode of Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, the WWE Hall of Famer opened up about potentially facing The Visionary in a singles match. While he praised Rollins' unmatched talent, the veteran admitted that his body would be unable to keep up with the RAW Superstar's in-ring work.

Here's what the 52-year-old had to say about potentially going up against Rollins:

"Seth, look, I think Seth Rollins is doing some of his greatest work right now," said Road Dogg. "If I step back into the ring with Seth Rollins right now, I would die of cardiac arrest," said Road Dogg. "If not, maybe he Curb Stomps me, and like, he gets charged with elderly abuse." (23:51 - 24:05)

Rollins has been on an exceptional run as a heel recently. Road Dogg also mentioned the former champion's wife, Becky Lynch, and stated that he was a big fan of the couple's character changes.

The former producer said Rollins and Lynch had developed unique gimmicks that made for some entertaining TV.

"But, you know the truth to be told, Seth, Becky, some of them are doing their best work right now, and their characters are just on another level," added the former tag team champion. "It's feeling fresh and cool and hip, and I don't know, I'm digging what they are doing." (24:05 - 24:18)

WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg would like to work with Happy Corbin

In addition to Seth Rollins, a fan also brought up the dream scenario of Road Dogg returning for a program with Happy Corbin. The SmackDown Superstar is widely viewed as an underrated talent who has adapted to different roles throughout his career.

Happy Corbin has many admirers in the business, and Road Dogg noted that he would love to bump for the current WWE Superstar.

"I would love to work with Happy Corbin because he is a big ol' heel, you know what I mean? You could bump for him," said Road Dogg. (23:45 - 23:50)

It will be interesting to see whether the former Intercontinental Champion returns to the Stamford-based promotion in some capacity moving forward.
