Report: Several WWE Talents Unhappy After Raw Segments Scrapped
Last-minute changes to this week's episode of WWE Raw? On Vince McMahon's watch?! Never...
Last-minute changes to this week's episode of WWE Raw left several female wrestlers unhappy, according to PWInsider Elite.
The report states that multiple backstage segments featuring WWE's women's roster were cut from Raw on Monday. This happened shortly before the show hit the airwaves - and the cancelled content included one segment that had already been filmed.
PWInsider hadn't received word of what, exactly, was going to happen in the scrapped content, though the situation "led to some very unhappy talents."
Last-minute changes, which previously weren't a hallmark of Paul 'Triple H' Levesque's creative reign pre-WrestleMania 39, have crept back into WWE programming in recent weeks. The 3 April Raw was the most egregiously hit, with Vince McMahon returning to old habits, shredding big chunks of the show as it was hitting the airwaves, with his changes continuing even as the episode was running.
McMahon, 77-year-old, has regained "final say" in all matters creative following WWE's buyout by Endeavor, having returned to the Board of Directors as Executive Chairman in January. Levesque remains WWE's Chief Content Officer, though his word is no longer the be-all, end-all when it comes to creative.
