1) A “Tense” Meeting Between Paul Heyman And Vince McMahon
As we all know by now, the finish of Bray Wyatt vs Seth Rollins was a mess. We noted prior that Vince McMahon was initially laughing at the finish but that appears to have changed come the next day.
According to journalist Tom Colohue, the finish at Hell in a Cell apparently led to a “tense” meeting between Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon prior to RAW.
Here is what Colohue said:
“Paul Heyman, in charge of RAW, was obviously in a production meeting with Vince McMahon, in which they were deciding how RAW was going to go. They laid out earlier that they would work on it from there. Paul Heyman was not happy with that situation. I don’t think Vince McMahon was very happy with that situation as a result.….
We will see in the coming weeks about that one [if Wyatt stays on RAW or moves to SmackDown in the draft], but I know it was a tense moment in the production meeting where they just had to have that discussion [how to book Rollins and Wyatt], clear the air a little bit and decide where they’re going next. I don’t think not mentioning it was the right way, personally.”
This isn’t surprising, considering how poorly the end of the Hell in a Cell PPV was received. Bray was booked perfectly up until Hell in a Cell, so I understand Heyman’s frustration.
