-- The WrestleVotes Twitter account his chipped in with some thoughts on the recent demotion of Paul Heyman as the man in charge of WWE Raw, suggesting that the show has been "a mess" lately with changes made up to the point of airtime. While not everything can be blamed on Heyman, as the Executive Director of the brand, he took the fall with one source saying that "it (Raw) couldn't continue like this."
Regarding the creative change, source indicates that RAW has been a mess lately. At times recently the show has changed up to the point of air. While the blame isn’t solely on Heyman, he is the one taking the fall here. “It couldn’t continue like this” was an exact quote I got.

-- Meanwhile, there is no word on whether the consolidation of the Raw and Smackdown creative teams will lead to more cuts. As recently as this week, WWE was looking to add headcount to this area of their business, especially after one of the head writers on Smackdown - Chris DeJoseph - was abruptly fired for some backstage behavioral issues.
