In an effort to streamline our creative writing process for television, we have consolidated both teams from Raw and SmackDown into one group, led by Bruce Prichard. Paul Heyman will concentrate on his role as an in-ring performer.
Heyman, who has served as the on-air advocate for Brock Lesnar, was put in charge of the Raw brand in June 2019 as the Executive Director. His responsibility was to oversee the creative development of the brand. Prichard was brought in to replace Eric Bischoff as Executive Director of SmackDown after Bischoff was fired.
