USA Network Reportedly Not Happy About Paul Heyman’s Creative Removal

Posted By: Ben Kerin on Jun 13, 2020

As previously reported, Paul Heyman was removed as the Executive Director of Raw and replaced with Bruce Prichard who will now oversee both Raw and SmackDown.

Many feel Prichard will work more in line with Vince McMahon's booking style and many of the younger talent Heyman had been championing might get lost in the mix.

In an update, USA Network is reportedly not happy that McMahon decided to remove Heyman from his position. 

Dave Meltzer noted the following on Wrestling Observer Radio.

"I know USA was unhappy with the change, very unhappy by the way. I don’t think that they were happy with the ratings [but] they understood the ratings. They were told a long time ago that this was a rebuilding period and it was gonna take time and they understood that. The ratings were a lot higher and then the pandemic came and that’s what really knocked it down the last three months. The same with SmackDown. I cannot imagine Fox being thrilled the ratings either, considering what they were expecting."
