This week’s episode of Smackdown Live was met with criticism from fans and it was evident that the show went through last-minute changes. That is because Vince McMahon told WWE creative earlier during the day to change the entire show.
According to a report by Fightful Select, the creative situation in Smackdown Live this week was said to be the messiest in a long time. The lead writer for Smackdown Live, Ryan Ward, was reportedly “reduced to a typist.”
I was told this week’s SmackDown was one of “the messiest creative situations in recent memory” with a couple of re-writes and constant miscommunication between WWE and their social media departments. Ryan Ward, who is the lead writer was effectively “reduced to a typist.”
Fan reception was mixed for this week’s episode of Smackdown Live. However, at least they were able to put on a two-hour show despite the messy creative situation. Hopefully, things get better from next week.
