1) The Current Backstage Morale In WWE
According to a report from Tom Colohue, the backstage morale in WWE has really improved over the past few months. Specifically, the RAW locker room is said to be really happy with how Paul Heyman has been running things.
Here is an excerpt from Colohue’s report:
A wide range of WWE RAW Superstars is reportedly much happier working under Paul Heyman as Executive Director than they were prior to his introduction. This is according to sources inside the locker room.
The introduction of the former Paul E. Dangerously has apparently resulted in a “renewed positivity” about the product as well as a feeling of management approachability. A small number of RAW Superstars who had concerns about the recent push of NXT are also said to have received more air time and greater opportunities to hone and develop their characters. It was mentioned to me that “people feel wanted now”.
He also added the following:
An improvement in locker room morale is well overdue and is undoubtedly down to too many factors to pinpoint individual reasons. However, Paul Heyman’s name came up a number of times. The end of the Wild Card Rule was also mentioned as this led to a significant improvement in available air time for members of the roster that are currently lower down the card.
My Take:
- The RAW product has definitely improved over the past few months with Heyman in charge. He has done a great job so far and it is nice to hear that the locker room is also happy.
