There been some nice debuts in WWE. Check out some of them over the years:

Opinion: This is an interesting one as WWE rarely hires wrestlers for writing roles. Maybe things are changing a bit, as these roles normally go to writers in one form or another. I’m curious to see if this leads to a regular change, as it could make for an interesting new reality. While not every such role needs to be filled by a wrestler, there is certainly a place for some of them on the team.

What do you think of the hire? Will this be part of a big shift for WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
