3) RAW Has Been A Mess Backstage
According to a report from @Wrestlevotes, RAW has been a mess backstage as of late. This comes after the news that Paul Heyman has been fired from his role as the Executive Director of Monday Night RAW.
Here is what the account Tweeted:
My Take:
- I am a Paul Heyman fan, so I am sad to see him go. I liked the way that he was pushing some of the underutilized talent on RAW. It will be interesting to see if WWE’s ratings improve with this change or not though.
2) Rumor On WWE Buying EVOLVE
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are rumors that EVOLVE has sold their tape library and more to WWE.
Here is what he wrote:
There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks regarding the future of Evolve and WWE. It’s not a secret Evolve had major financial issues and the canceling of WrestleMania week was catastrophic to them. They’ve been quiet, having not said anything. There were reports of them selling their tape library and pretty much everything to WWE but when asked, neither Evolve nor WWE would confirm or deny the story.
My Take:
- I am sure that EVOLVE is not the only company who is struggling right now with the lack of live crowds. It will be interesting to see if WWE ends up buying more struggling companies during this time.
