Writing live television can be intense. Communication breakdowns, last minute script changes, and production errors can make things go a little hectic backstage.
However, it seems in recent weeks that those feelings seem to be the norm for the WWE creative team and especially for tonight’s Smackdown. As they continue to build toward Survivor Series, things seem to be going more chaotic than ever.
As first reported by Ringside News, planning for tonight’s show has been going “terribly” as not much of anything had been approved by Vince McMahon for tonight’s show. According to their source, it has nothing to do with changing plans, but a tenured member of the creative team said they “just can’t get solid sign off on the ideas proposed, even the ones Vince himself came up with and just won’t finalize.”
The creative team is no stranger to crunch time and getting things in order for the live broadcast, so none of this is new to them. However, right now the process to finalizing tonight’s broadcast seems to be up in the air.
