WWE HIRES ANOTHER NEW PRODUCER, FLAIR LAWSUIT UPDATE AND MORE WWE NOTES

Add Shawn Daivari to the list of new Producers starting with WWE this week. There had been reports floating back over the last month that he was coming in. Daivari had been heading up the ACADEMY wrestling school in Minneapolis with Ken Anderson and Molly Holly in recent years.

While many of the new hires were fairly recent, there had been overtures to Shane Helms for some time about coming on board as a Producer, PWInsider.com has confirmed. Helms did a great job as a Producer during his time with Impact Wrestling.

On 1/10, Riki Paul Johnson, the ex-husband of Charlotte Flair was granted an extension to file an amended lawsuit against Ric Flair, World Wrestling Entertainment, Charlotte Flair and author Brian Shields Johnson's original lawsuit surrounded claims made about him in the WWE book Second Nature, which told an intertwining story about the careers and lives of Ric and Charlotte. He is being given until 3/15 to file. The defendants have been given until 3/28 to respond to the original lawsuit in case there is no new version filed. If there is, the clock on their response would be reset by the U.S. District Court, Western District of North Carolina.

I give a ton of credit to @WWERollins. One has to admit, he has a pair on him! Surely, #SethRollins knows deep down in his heart, he can't win a fight with @BrockLesnar. And yet, Seth tried #BurnItDown in #SuplexCity. It was a futile attempt, but a super ballsy one nonetheless! pic.twitter.com/W3bVsjLjHl — Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) January 29, 2019

I like @WWE @itsLioRush. He has a huge future. Tremendous talent, super young, only going to get better and better and better. But if you're going to call out @BrockLesnar on behalf of your client, at least spell your own client's nickname correctly. IT'S ON YOUR SHIRT, LIO! https://t.co/09ySLdA7Lm — Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) January 29, 2019
