5 Major consequences of WWE removing Paul Heyman as RAW Executive Director

#1. Higher emphasis on part-time Superstars again

Brock Lesnar is a part-timer who gets the most emphasis on RAW and it's not even close. One of the good things about the last couple of years is that WWE began to give less importance to part-timers. Even as the on-screen advocate of Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman seemed to understand that he can't rely on him to build the program around.

With Bruce Prichard and Vince McMahon, the vision of building RAW around younger Superstars might go for a toss, or be delayed for a while longer. Goldberg appears when he wants to, Brock Lesnar has a few scheduled appearances a year, Edge will be making more frequent appearances while there's a great deal of excitement over The Undertaker's future after his change in gimmick and the incredible 'Boneyard' match at WrestleMania 36.
