RUMOR: Important Name Backstage At SmackDown

Here he comes again. There have been a lot of changes taking place in the WWE over the last year and a half and several of them have not been the most well received. A lot of those problems have seemed to stem from new WWE President Nick Khan, who has seemed intent on cutting costs anywhere he can. Khan making moves is quite the event, and now we might be seeing something else soon.

According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, Khan was backstage at this week’s SmackDown, though it is not clear why he was present at the show. Khan appearing at television events is not a normal occurrence. Khan was working with Vince McMahon and the company’s higher ups throughout the day. It is not known if he will be around at television more frequently or if this was a one off event.

Source states WWE president Nick Khan was backstage in Philadelphia last night for SmackDown, and was involved w/ Vince & Co throughout the day. Source wasn’t sure the nature of the meetings, but went on to say Khan being at TV isn’t an everyday thing.

Opinion: I’m not sure what this means for WWE (if anything) but it is quite the event when Khan does anything these days. He has shaken up WWE in a big way, if nothing else due to the amount of cuts he has been involved with over the last several months. Khan’s involvement may or may not be the best thing for WWE, depending on your take, but it has certainly been eventful.

What do you think of Khan’s tenure with WWE? Will there be more cuts this year? Let us know in the comments below.
