WWE has released two members of the creative team last week. According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, the company let go SmackDown co-lead writer Stephen Guerreri and RAW in-office lead writer Steve Oppenheim.
Guerreri had been with WWE 2012, while Oppenheim started in 2011. There’s no word yet on what led to the departures.
The timing of these writers leaving coincides with Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff assuming the roles of Executive Director of Raw and SmackDown, respectively. However, the initial report states that Heyman and Bischoff were not responsible for this latest shakeup.
