WWE is on The Road to WrestleMania 41 with less than one month to go. While it's clear how Superstars from all three brands are fighting to secure their spots on The Grandest Stage of Them All, the company also has true workhorses in its writers, producers, and other backstage personnel. WWE is now upgrading its behind-the-scenes army during the busiest time of the year.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels have massive teams that keep the largest wrestling company in the world running at full throttle. Writers on World Wrestling Entertainment's creative writing team perform several tasks, including storyline ideas, while WWE Producers, also known as road agents, keep the shows running and make the matches happen.
