Source pwinsider “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.” I laughed so hard when I read this because I knew Heyman wouldn't last long(it's been what a year) and of course they choose the bigger ass kisser to be the head of creative! I doubt a lot of Heymans ideas were used anyway on Raw. The show did not change much at all after he was named "head of creative" or whatever. this company.

Isn't surprising in the least. Despite instances here and there where Heyman's fingerprints could have been, the distance between these two's creative minds would put the Grand Canyon to shame. Heyman's passion and temperament was never gonna be a long-term situation while still answering to the Supreme One.

I never really understood why they have a creative team since Vince just does what he wants anyway lol.
I hope we get a brother love figure soon. I know him being the writer doesn’t mean merch but hopefully it makes it easier to sign him to one

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Actually it would have been fun if Heyman was really in control. Like ecw, like smackdown in 2002, and like OVW in 2005 and 2006.

I mean people constantly bitch about how bad RAW is, so what did you expect? When "you" the consumer complains there's likely going to be some change. I for one found RAW to be more entertaining than SD because they were pushing more guys that could "work". Now with Bryan & Styles both on SD maybe they're trying to spread it out.
Either way COVID has hurt the viewing of pro wrestling. Putting recruits in the stands is alright but it still loses its luster.

Honestly I don't know what to think.
I mean, we hear people say Vince still calls all the shots. If that's true, then there's no big difference here.
I do know I've been enjoying RAW lately. Especially McIntyre, Black, & Rollins. So if Heyman is responsible for that, then I'm not happy.
But I'm pretty sure Heyman gave us the Rusev/Lana/Lashley/Liv story... so they can't all be winners.
I'll wait a few weeks before I judge anything.

Head of creative is a mickey mouse position with Vince at the helm.

i mean....does it really matter? everything that happens on TV goes through Vince anyway. so Prichard sucks because of this? yet everyone praised the living out of the Otis storyline lately...you know that was Bruce right? or what about bringing AJ to Smackdown and the great IC title tournament....yeah that's Bruce. Jeff Hardy/Sheamus? Bruce. Fiend stuff?......Bruce again. if Bruce is the head of Smackdown and Smackdown has actually been GOOD, what makes everyone think RAW is just going to suck now?

I know him being the writer doesn’t mean merch but hopefully it makes it easier to sign him to one It's simple. Bruce is just a Vince Jr. Bruce knows what Vince likes and doesn't like so he'll book things just like that. Listen to the podcast. Bruce defends EVERYTHING Vince came up with. He defended Red Rooster, silly gimmick matches, etc. People think HHH will run WWE once he dies, don't be surprised if Bruce ends up with it instead.
