According to a report from WrestlingNews.co, Vince McMahon has made changes to some matches at WWE Backlash. This comes only one day after Paul Heyman was fired as the head of creative for Monday Night RAW.
The report says that Vince has already changed a finish that was planned for one of the RAW matches. Here is an excerpt from the report:
I was told this morning that McMahon has already made a change to the finish of one match and some ideas that were planned for other matches have also been scrapped or tweaked. I was told that there were changes made on the SmackDown side too but most of the ideas scrapped were from the Raw side.
The report also says there is concern among the RAW locker room that some big changes will be coming to RAW. This is because Vince McMahon wants to get the ratings back up:
There is some concern among people on the roster about bigger changes that could be coming in the next few weeks as McMahon feels that a big shakeup is needed to get the Raw ratings back up. McMahon knows that COVID-19 is a major reason why ratings have dipped to all-time low levels but he also feels that some of the wrestlers that were pushed by Heyman will never be ratings movers.
A WWE source told me, “Vince put up with some of Paul’s ideas for a while but then Vince would kill off so many good ideas and anyone who has watched Vince and Paul’s interactions knew that this arrangement was not going to last very long. Paul seemed stressed out around Vince.”
