WWE News: Push for Chris Masters, Smackdown

Vince McMahon made the decision last week to give WWE RAW Superstar Chris Masters a renewed push. Masters was in the midst of a push last summer, before being suspended for violating the WWE Wellness Policy.

Speaking of Vince, he is now taking more interest in SmackDown than ever before. Even with most viewership going to RAW, Vince is said to now give SmackDown equal attention.

Michael Hayes is credited for Vince’s interest, as many backstage say their relationship is a lot like McMahon’s and Pat Patterson’s. Hayes is said to be very influential and is credited for building a power base.
