There have been a lot of changes in WWE over the past few weeks. That includes changes with both wrestlers and backstage employees.
We have some news to pass your way about another big change that was made to the WWE writing team as of late.
According to a new report, WWE has fired the lead writer of Monday Night RAW.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reports that WWE has fired Ryan Callahan, who has been with the company for several years. Here is an excerpt from Sapp about why Callahan was fired:
We’re told that the firing actually has nothing to do with ratings, viewership, storylines or anything of the sort. Instead, we’re told that Callahan had an issue with Dave Kapoor, who portrayed Rainjin Singh on TV for years. Kapoor felt that Callahan took creative changes a little too personally, and was difficult to work with, not setting a good example for the rest of the writing team. Callahan was subsequently fired the evening of Thursday, May 2.
We will let you know if we hear anything more. There sure seems to be a lot of turnover backstage as of late though.
