During a recent interview with Digital Spy, Stephanie McMahon commented on WWE hiring more female writers, and more. She said,
“Hiring in the writing room is really important because it has previously been a fairly male-dominated writing room and there are big efforts right now to change that,” she said. “I don’t have the stats off the top of my head. So I’m not sure how many women we’ve hired since we started but I know it’s several, including a senior ranking VP (Christine Lubrano) who’s in charge of many different aspects of making sure that the creative and partnerships and all lines of business are all working together. So there’s a been a huge movement. And for both men and women we are always looking to improve our storylines no matter what and improve our character development.”
When she was asked about the Bayley and Sasha Banks storyline from last summer, she said,
“Sasha and Bayley have something so special and so unique and in our business, when you capture chemistry like that, it gives it legs. You have the ability to really build on those stories and deepen them as well.”
