Former WWE Vice President of Global Television Production Michael Mansury has been hired by AEW and will begin his duties this week, as PWMania.com previously reported. Fightful Select noted the following internal reactions:
“We’ve already heard from talent and staff within both AEW and WWE who were happy about the hiring, and believe that it will go a long way in helping AEW’s content. One WWE source said that he’s a good hire specifically because he’s more in touch with AEW’s demographic, and can significantly increase the level of production the company has. One WWE source that heavily criticizes AEW to us, said that he saw this as AEW’s biggest hire this year.”
Mansury was said to be the “likely replacement” for Kevin Dunn until he left WWE in May of 2020. According to reports, Triple H was not expected to bring back Mansury unless Dunn stepped down from his position, which did not occur.
