Vince McMahon Has Reportedly Changed His Mind On Using Managers On RAW And SMACKDOWN LIVE

Remember when Paul Ellering was fired as The Authors of Pain's manager? Well, that boiled down to Vince McMahon not being a fan of managers but a new report claims that he's now softened his stance on them...

It's no secret that Vince McMahon is fickle so you probably won't be surprised to learn that he's now reversed his stance on using managers. They were a big part of WWE programming in the 70s and 80s, hence why the Chairman of the Board is under the belief they're outdated and unnecessary. 

However, it's said that Paul Heyman's success has caused McMahon to rethink things and Dave Meltzer also notes in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE is now planning on using more managers on their shows. That's why Drake Maverick is working for The Authors of Pain and Lio Rush is set to start managing Bobby Lashley on RAW, a move which was first teased this past Monday.

There's even talk of more managers being brought from the independent scene for roles in the company, something which would definitely shake things up in WWE. Throw in the fact that McMahon is a fan of Andrade "Cien" Almas' partnership with Zelina Vega and things are looking up for managers...
