It was originally reported that Chris DeJoseph was fired from his position as the lead writer of Smackdown allegedly because of his behavior at company meetings.
As noted, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the most consistent story about what happened is that DeJoseph was on a Zoom conference call with Stan Stansky, Senior Vice President of Creative Services, and Kevin Moore, Senior Vice President of E-Commerce and Venue Merchandise.
Per the report, DeJoseph said things he shouldn’t have and came off to Moore and Stansky ‘in a bad way’. Once Vince McMahon found out, he was let go.
He made his first comments here:
Totally dodged a bullet. #Raw #SmackDownOnFox

After ten years away wasn’t really into giving my life to the unpredictable whims of one person. But I believe in @bruceprichard and his vision.
