WWE has reportedly made a significant addition to the SmackDown team following WWE Elimination Chamber 2024. The recent event in Perth, Australia, set the stage for WrestleMania 40, with Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch emerging as victorious contenders for title matches.
A recent report by Cassidy Haynes from BodySlam.net reveals that Patrick Scott, a former wrestler with accolades such as Deadlock Pro Wrestling World’s Tag Team Champion and two-time PWF Unified Tag Team Champion, has been hired by WWE as a writer’s assistant on SmackDown. Scott, previously in a tag team with Chance Rizer, brings his wrestling experience into the creative realm.
Patrick Scott hinted at his new venture with a cryptic message on social media, indicating that he has more to share in the coming days.
In another development on SmackDown, AJ Styles finds himself entangled in a storyline with LA Knight.
The feud, stemming from Knight replacing Styles in a tag team match last year, has failed to resonate with some, including former WWE manager Dutch Mantell.
I’ll have a lot more to say in the coming days. For now, I will just say this…

Mantell expressed his lack of enthusiasm for the chemistry between Styles and Knight, suggesting that the storyline hasn’t captured his interest.
“This Friday’s edition of WWE SmackDown will take place in Glendale, Arizona. It will be fascinating to see if LA Knight will respond to AJ Styles’ attack on Friday’s edition of SmackDown.”
As the narrative unfolds on SmackDown, fans will be keen to see how the AJ Styles and LA Knight saga progresses, especially after Styles attacked Knight during the Men’s Elimination Chamber match at the recent event.
With Patrick Scott’s addition to the SmackDown creative team, there may be new dynamics introduced to the show, and viewers are anticipating what changes or enhancements Scott’s involvement might bring to the SmackDown brand in the coming weeks and months.
