WWE reportedly faced internal pushback over the recent Gingerbread Man storyline involving Sami Zayn and Trick Williams on WWE SmackDown, with WrestleVotes Radio via Fightful Select reporting that some creative team members viewed the angle as “hokey and archaic.” The storyline ended with Zayn appearing to turn heel by “killing” the character on television, although Zayn recently said he does not believe he has fully turned heel and described the character shift as an attempt to do something different.
WWE has moved AJ Lee, Paige, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella to the free agents section of their official website.
