"Road Dogg" Jesse James appeared on Monday Night Raw once again this week to help Jeff Jarrett in his match against Elias, and fans had a few things to say about his appearance.
James was looking noticeably rounder compared to the last time he and Billy Gunn competed as the New Age Outlaws back in 2014, and was back to wearing throwback jerseys and backwards hats as he rapped his way to the ring.

WWE fans on Twitter quickly compared him to Fred Durst, the Limp Bizkit singer who previously worked with the WWE back in the early 2000s.

"We know road dogg was back there laughing his fred durst ass off too," one fan wrote in a thread questioning SmackDown Live's booking this week.
But the jokes did not stop there.
"Road Dogg looks like Thuganomics John Cena," one fan wrote, referencing John Cena's old gimmick of wearing throwback basketball jerseys every week.
"Road Dogg looks like both members of ICP," wrote another, comparing him to Insane Clown Posse
One person who didn't mind James' look was Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard, whose jersey James was wearing.

"Yo a— betta," Lillard said, responding to a fan who tagged him with a photo of James."
James attempted to interfere in the Jarrett/Elias match, and wound up getting knocked off the apron by "The Drifter." Elias then hit Jarrett with his Drift Away finisher to pick up the win, but the veterans got the last laugh when James distracted him long enough to let Jarrett smack him in the back with a guitar.
