#4. Hope isn't true: WWE Superstars concerned about their push after Paul Heyman firing

Paul Heyman was recently removed as the Executive Director of RAW, with rumors from people backstage indicating that it was a "long time coming". Bruce Prichard has now taken over the reins for both RAW and SmackDown's creative side and this could possibly mean the end of a push for multiple stars.

According to Dave Meltzer on WON, there has been concern among a few Superstars backstage who got a push because of Paul Heyman.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Dave Meltzer, in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, brought to the WWE Universe's attention that RAW Superstars have a rising concern regarding the light in which WWE sees them. These concerns were born due to Paul Heyman's firing recently. Most of these WWE Superstars were never given a national push before Heyman took charge of RAW's creative.

We hope this isn't true, but ultimately, it's hard to blame the Superstars for believing that their push could be in jeopardy.
