Head WWE SmackDown Writer's Job in Jeopardy

[Konan]

Many within WWE have speculated that Michael Hayes' role as the head writer of SmackDown is in jeopardy. His right hand man Chris DeJoseph was recently let go and the program has garnered dismal ratings since moving to Syfy.

In recent years, non-main event talent preferred SmackDown to RAW because there was more room for career growth. Currently, WWE's Friday night brand features veterans garnering most of the spotlight with only a few exceptions.

One WWE source said that while Hayes received much praise for pushing younger talent, his focus is generally on the veterans. Writers who have worked under him are the real reason young talent are showcased on SmackDown.

So rather than except that taking a show from a free to air network and moving it to cable, on a Friday night when many of the older viewers will likely be busy is likely to see a dip in ratings at least initially they'd rather make wholesale changes to the backstage team?

Seems like a risky strategy to me.
