WWE creative shake up:

The Blame Game has started on the major creative changes happening within WWE, some blame the outgoing Brian Gerwitz for the issues, because he only works at WWE HQ three or four days a week. Others blame Stephanie McMahon, one insider saying...

''Stephanie has run this dysfunctionally toxic division for the entire duration of its ratings decline. Her horrendous structure from the committee dynamic to who she fast-tracks and how rigidly the shows are structured are why this product isn’t gangbusters''.

But most blame the expansion to 3 hours for Raw, too much time not enough talent to fill it.

They are actually proposing that they bring The Rock's title win forward to help Raw's ratings, and do it as soon as he is free, that probably won't happen because they want the PPV's to be special next year.

The Rock is actually the only reason Gerwitz was not fired completely, he is responsible for some of The Rock's most famous catchphrases and promo's, and The Rock wants him to stay on board to help write the upcoming World title stories for him.

The still unnamed talent was critical of Vince's behavior at Raw, saying...

''He is a big part of WWE’s problems and blaming others and trying to intimidate people into fearing him doesn’t change that fact.''
