Pro wrestling has often been compared to a soap opera (just watch Netflix’s excellent new series “Glow - no, seriously, go watch it, it’s incredible - for example), so it makes sense that one of WWE’s most prolific writers got his start in the genre.
Casiello worked for WWE from 2011 to as recently as 2016, where he was lead writer for WWE’s creative team. Before that, Casiello was an associate head writer for Days of Our Lives as well as a script-writer for many of the top daytime dramas on television at the time. He was an influential writer on the NXT brand, helping mould it into the fan-favorite show it is today, before being brought up to run the main shows. However, it seems that he butted heads with Vince one too many times and was let go in 2016.
