According to a multiple reports, Paul Heyman and Zeb Colter (Dutch Mantel) helped re-write Monday's WWE Raw script with Vince McMahon backstage prior to the show. Stephanie McMahon reportedly played "little to no" role in the re-crafting of the episode. Heyman has been consulted before on the Raw script and Mantel has a writing background having wrote for TNA in the early 2000s.

Monday's Raw was considered one of the best of 2013 and the influence of Heyman and Mantel hopefully will not go unnoticed.
