3) What The WWE Locker Room Will Miss About Paul Heyman
Sports Illustrated reports that they reached out to 10 Superstars from RAW about Paul Heyman being fired as the head of the creative team for the red brand. The consensus is that they are all going to miss the guidance that Heyman provided them on a weekly basis.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
Sports Illustrated contacted 10 different wrestlers currently active on the Raw roster, and each noted Heyman’s greatest strength was the guidance, recommendation and direction he provided. Every wrestler contacted shared the hope that Heyman will still be at television each week to critique their work.
My Take:
- I hope that WWE keeps Heyman involved in more than just an on-screen role. He is such a knowledgeable guy and it would be a waste not to use him to help the younger talent in WWE.
2) Jinder Mahal’s Injury Was Worse Than Originally Expected
Jinder Mahal recently underwent knee surgery and he will be out of action for several months. According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this was supposed to be a minor injury but turned out to be much worse.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Mahal underwent knee surgery this past week in Birmingham. Originally it was scheduled to be minor surgery but the damage ended up being more significant than expected.
My Take:
- This sucks as Jinder just returned from being out for several months. There were also rumors that he was going to challenge Drew McIntyre for the WWE Title at some point. I wish him the best in his recovery.
