Even though Roman Reigns took some time off, things are still the same for his creative process.
Reigns has been out since shortly after Summerslam, before returning for the build to Crown Jewel. While he was out, things changed behind the scenes and Vince McMahon is no longer contributing creatively. However, we’re told that Roman Reigns’ creative process is largely the same. Both Reigns and Paul Heyman are said to contribute heavily, and did, regardless of the head of creative was Vince McMahon, Triple H, or a combination of the two.
Beyond that, Michael Hayes is still tasked with handling the production on most Bloodline-related angles, interviews and segments regardless of show. If Roman Reigns is in it, most definitely Hayes is producing it. However, if there is something pertinent to a Bloodline related story, Hayes is usually tasked with that too. For example, Hayes produced the Sami Zayn promo and the tag team title main event on WWE Raw this past week.
For those asking if LA Knight being thrust into the spotlight with Reigns is a result of Vince being out of creative power, that was already happening before the move.
