Ex-WWE star on Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton's booking Brock Lesnar (left); Randy Orton (right) Charlie Haas believes Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton’s creative freedom could be a sign that WWE has made changes to its scriptwriting. Many former WWE Superstars have mentioned after leaving the company that they were told to read promos word-for-word. ECW legend Sabu, for example, recently about a disagreement he had with Stephanie McMahon regarding a script she wanted him to read. Haas, a three-time WWE Tag Team Champion, spoke to about various wrestling topics. Discussing WWE’s hands-on approach with promos, he mentioned how Lesnar and Orton are seemingly allowed to do whatever they like. “We’re athletes, and that’s when it becomes sports entertainment… when you start bringing people in to tell you how to feel, to say, to act, what to do,” Haas said. “Let me tell you something. Randy Orton, they give him something, he says what he wants and how he does it. Brock, finally they got rid of [Paul] Heyman from him, he does what he wants and says. I think they’re starting to listen.” [16:54-17:24] As two of WWE's most experienced superstars, it is no surprise that Lesnar and Orton have gained the trust of the company's higher-ups. The Beast Incarnate, in particular, has been involved in many WWE moments, including in 2020 when he appeared in a comedy segment with R-Truth.
