WWE Creative Process For Roman Reigns Largely Unchanged Since Vince McMahon's Ousting

Vince McMahon is no longer involved with WWE creative following his ousting from the creative process by Endeavor and TKO Group CEO Ari Emanuel in recent weeks. This occurred only a few weeks after the completion of the WWE-UFC merger and Paul "Triple H" Levesque now finds himself as the head of WWE creative in his role as Chief Content Officer.

Changes have already been felt since Vince McMahon's removal, with noticeably fewer last-minute changes to Monday Night Raw over the past three weeks. One talent who is largely unaffected by the politics within WWE, though, is Roman Reigns.

According to Fightful Select, Reigns' creative process has largely remained the same in McMahon's absence. Reigns himself and Paul Heyman contribute heavily to the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion's creative and that was the case regardless of if Triple H or Vince McMahon were at the top of creative. Michael Hayes, meanwhile, still handles production on most of The Bloodline's angles and segments and Hayes will produce the segment if Roman Reigns is a part of it. 

Roman Reigns looks set to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against LA Knight at the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on November 4. Knight's elevation to a title match was not a result of McMahon's removal and it was already planned before the 78-year-old was ousted from creative.
