It was reported recently that Brian Gerwitz, head writer for WWE, has been replaced. He's still a consultant with the company but odds are he'll be slowly phased out of the company as time goes on.
After last week's Raw rating came out, Vince allegedly went on the war path and a lot of people are said to be extremely nervous about their jobs. Vince allegedly said that he wants results or resignations.
A new story that came out a bit ago revolves around Vince being confronted by one of the top talents and they had a back and forth talk about things. Other top talents are said to have allegedly said some things to Vince in recent weeks that they're concerned. Anyhow, this single top talent, according to PWInsider, told Vince in front of other people that he's not crazy with the writers right now, that Vince is doing whatever he wants and the company is suffering because of it. Again, allegedly, this talent told Vince that he needs to start listening to everyone else because he doesn't have his finger on WWE's pulse any longer. Basically, this talent told Vince that he's out of touch. As to who this talent is, hasn't been revealed, but it must be somebody with a ton of stroke and power to be able to get away with talking to Vince like that, especially in front of other people.
The report also states that, apparently, a lot of people are starting to get through to Vince and he's starting to listen. Evidently, there were some big changes made to Raw last night and more changes are expected to come about.
Personally, I haven't been all that unhappy with WWE but I do believe that, for the most part, things have been in a slump for the company since Raw went to three hours. Last night on Raw, I thought WWE made the best use of the additional time they've gotten since going to three hours. You also noticed little, subtle changes such as matches that were going to happen on the show mentioned on commentary a while before they actually happened. That's something that doesn't happen on Raw often. For instance, I think they mentioned Team Hell No vs. Ziggler & Del Rio on commentary before the graphic popped up advertising the match as they were going to break. They did announce the other tag team tourney match between Rhodes Scholars and Santino & Ryder several times during the night, including during the other tag team tourney match. All in all, I think last night's show did have more on things that really mattered and more attention generally focused on the wrestlers themselves, their matches and what they're currently doing rather than having stuff come off mostly as filler to take up some air time.
If these changes result on Raw getting back consistently to the level it used to be, such as last night's show, then I'm all for it.
