Jason Jordan reportedly has a new role within WWE with bigger responsibilities.
As we’ve noted, WWE recently made several changes to several departments, including Talent Relations. John Laurinaitis took control of the department earlier this year, moving up from his role as Lead Producer.
In an update, word now via PWInsider is that Jordan has taken over Laurinaitis’ former role as Lead Producer. Jordan now oversees all other WWE producers at TV tapings. The new role includes much bigger responsibilities within the company.
The build to WrestleMania Backlash continues on tonight s SmackDown.
Cesaro confronted Universal Champion Roman Reigns last week on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 37. Reigns bragged about beating Edge and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. He claimed the rest of the roster was afraid to face him until Cesaro interrupted. Reigns disrespected Cesaro by leaving the ring.
Cesaro demanded a title shot against Reigns but had to face Jey Uso first. The match ended when Seth Rollins jumped Cesaro for the disqualification.
Cesaro had defeated Rollins when they faced off at WrestleMania. On SmackDown last week, WWE showed footage of Cesaro giving Rollins the giant swing and UFO several times.
