WWE Raw Backstage News

Fightful Select learned tonight that the word going around is that WWE is really focusing in on the 18-34 demographic this week, after numbers for teens were way up for the first week under a new Executive Director regime.

Those we’ve spoken to say that the lost generation of 18-34 is going to be a major target going around, and that Paul Heyman himself has been pretty transparent about his role in saying that Vince McMahon will always have the final say, and that changes from Heyman’s side are going to take some time.

We’re told that Heyman sits in the middle of the production meetings instead of at the front of the room, and has spoken to several team members about Vince McMahon coming to grips with the fact that the program needs to be upgraded, and with that happening, true change could be on the way. 

Some we’ve talked with are still taking the “wait and see” approach, but there is more optimism as it relates to things after last week’s Raw.
