As revealed by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the former lead writer of SmackDown was on a conference call with two WWE executives during which he made a few unnecessary comments and Vince McMahon was informed about the same.
Vince McMahon then took the decision to fire DeJoseph.
Meltzer noted:
The consistent story is that he was on a Zoom conference call with Stan Stansky, the Senior Vice President of Creative Services, and Kevin Moore, the Senior Vice President of E-Commerce and Venue Merchandise. Essentially he said things that he shouldn't have and according to some versions came off to them in a bad way, and Vince McMahon found out and that was it.
It's interesting to note that Chris DeJoseph, who has been in the business for a long time, was promoted weeks before he was fired. He first worked for the WWE from 2004 to 2010 before returning as a creative team member at the end of 2019.
The veteran was one of the lead writers of SmackDown before he was shown the door.
