#4. Backstage chaos and indecisiveness in the WWE
The pandemic era has forced WWE to tape all its shows at the Performance Center, and it has certainly not been a smooth ride for the company.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Sportskeeda's Gary Cassidy recently reported in an exclusive that WWE was 'totally unprepared' for this week's RAW tapings. There was apparently a lot of 'chaos from the top.'
Gary Cassidy reported that there was a considerable amount of stress backstage due to the indecisiveness and lack of leadership in the creative team. A WWE source was even quoted as saying the following:
"The shows will happen and air, but there's no attainable goal of quality because everything is decided under the pressure cooker of it all coming down to the very last minute."
Cassidy went on to add that Vince McMahon was reportedly in a volatile mode due to the indecisiveness.
"From what I've been told, today's #WWERAW is apparently "totally unprepared" and "chaos from the top." Two shows are being taped, with the first is changing on the fly while the second is still apparently incomplete. That should make for interesting viewing if nothing else!
I should add, I've lost count how many consecutive weeks I've been told there's chaos, multiple re-writes, etc going into RAW and SmackDown and of course the show always goes on. However, the stuff I've been told about what's going on today seems even wilder than usual.
Apparently there's a lack of leadership & a lot of stress due to the indecisiveness. I've been told, "The shows will happen and air, but there's no attainable goal of quality because everything is decided under the pressure cooker of it all coming down to the very last minute."
Dave Meltzer and Alex McCarthy corroborated Gary Cassidy's report and it's safe to believe that the story is indeed accurate.
