5 former WWE writers: Where are they now?

#4 Brian Gewirtz

Brian Gewirtz is perhaps one of the more well-known names to feature on this list, having been with WWE for more than a decade—with the vast majority of those years spent as the head writer of Raw.

His tenure ended in 2012 when a dud rating saw him removed from his position and replaced by newcomer Ed Pankowski. However, Gewirtz was kept around as a consultant, partly because he still had a contract with the company and partly because he just so happened to be Dwayne Johnson’s personal writer.

Still, the writing was on the wall and it wasn’t long before he was out of the company altogether.

Luckily for him though, those ties to Mr Johnson would continue to serve him well in life beyond the wrestling business. Gewirtz was hired by Seven Bucks Promotions as Senior Vice President of Development in 2015. That's the very same production company that is owned by Johnson and his ex-wife (and current manager) Dany Garcia and is currently working on the upcoming movie about Paige and her family.
