Dot Net can confirm reports that with Brian Gewirtz being removed from the creative picture recently, Eric Pankowski has taken over as the most powerful non McMahon family member involved in the writing process. Pankowski was hired in late January to serve as the Senior Vice President of Creative and Development.

Powell's POV: Pankowski worked at Reveille entertainment studio and also had a 12-year run with Warner Brothers. We noted on the Dot Net Weekly audio show back in April that he was given a key role in creative and was an early favorite of Vince and Stephanie McMahon.
