WWE News: McMahon Upset at Reigns, Role of Company's Creative Writers

– Vince McMahon was reportedly extremely upset at Roman Reigns for failing his drug test and it is expected that while Reigns will be still be pushed as one of the top wrestlers in the draft, he will no longer be pushed as THE top guy.

– The way the WWE creative writing process for TV works is that all overall creative directions are dictated to the writing team by Vince McMahon and Paul Levesque. The role of the writer is to write the scripts and produce the segments at television. Even though they are encouraged to pitch stories on anything, the majority of what they do is take direction from Vince. In NXT, Levesque takes the lead role and the writers write the scripts for the show based on his overall direction.
