In a report from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it has noted that Paul Heyman will no longer be hosting Talking Smack and the Pat McAfee and Kayla Braxton will be a permanent change going forward.

“Paul Heyman is now off Talking Smack. Pat McAfee and Kayla Braxton did the show this past week. We’re told the change is permanent and not a one week thing, but of course, everything can change tomorrow in WWE. There’s no real reason for it past a company decision and Heyman’s interplay with talent on some of the episodes was the most compelling talking stuff done on WWE shows.”
