5 former WWE writers: Where are they now?

#5 Ranjan Chhibber

Dr ChhibberFew writers can claim to have had a post-WWE career quite like that of Ranjan Chhibber, not only for his accomplishments after leaving the company but also for the way in which he departed in the first place.

Chhibber reportedly quit WWE in protest when SmackDown head writer Paul Heyman was sent home after clashing (once again) with the McMahons. Call me a cynic, but in a business born from carny roots, that kind of integrity seems fairly rare —malmost as rare as then going on to pursue a career in academia.

Having worked at George Washington University prior to accepting the WWE gig, Dr Chhibber, as he's officially known, returned to his roots and was teaching "Asian Horror Films and the Dark Side of the Asian Humanities" at Florida State College in Jacksonville, FL, as recently as 2015.

There, he was nominated for the Professor of the Year award. Meanwhile, WWE Raw was busy scooping a second successive prize for Worst Television Show in the annual Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards.

I know which one of those I'd rather be winning.
