Paul Heyman's WWE firing could hurt future of young stars as McMahon plans major overhaul

WWE officials have stunned a lot of fans by firing Paul Heyman from his position as a RAW administrator. This week, the WWE revealed that RAW and SmackDown are going to be controlled under one specific entity led by Bruce Prichard, which automatically rules out Paul Heyman from his position of controlling the storylines and promotions on WWE RAW.

However, it can possibly be a bad decision since Paul Heyman’s exit can hamper the growth of many current superstars in the WWE roster. Throughout the years, Paul Heyman has managed several wrestlers and has been a prime element in managing, developing and encouraging them. However, the WWE is not keen on extending their association with Paul Heyman since Vince McMahon reportedly got into a feud with the celebrity manager.
