Another major shakeup has taken place with WWE’s writing staff.
WWE has consolidated the writing teams for Raw and SmackDown. Bruce Prichard will lead the new creative team. He previously served as the Executive Director of the SmackDown brand.
Paul Heyman, who served as Executive Director of Raw, will not be part of the new writing team. According to the following statement sent in to SEScoops.com, Heyman will focus on his role as on-air talent.
“In an effort to streamline our creative writing process for television, we have consolidated both teams from Raw and SmackDown into one group, led by Bruce Prichard. Paul Heyman will concentrate on his role as an in-ring performer.”
Heyman worked as the head of Raw’s creative effort since June 2019. At the time, Eric Bischoff was named as the leader of SmackDown’s writing team. Bruce Prichard took over for Heyman in just a few months later in October 2019.
