Former WWE writer Court Bauer reported on Twitter Friday that Ed Koskey has taken over the lead creative writing duties on WWE SmackDown!
The role had previously belonged to long-time WWE veteran Michael Hayes. Koskey, however, had filled in for Hayes during his much-publicized suspension a few years ago, so this will not be his first instance of creative authority on the brand.
According to ProWrestling.net, Hayes remains with WWE in a role that effectively sees him managing the agents. He is also the “finish man” under Vince McMahon, says the story.
