Huge WWE Backstage "RAH-RAH" Meeting After Kevin Dunn's Departure
Triple H, Nick Khan rally the troops following Kevin Dunn's resignation.
Kevin Dunn's near 40-year WWE career officially came to an end on Monday (1 January), with WWE executives Nick Khan and Paul 'Triple H' Levesque hosting a backstage meeting to "rally the troops" in the aftermath.
Held before last night's Raw, the meeting went well - according to PWInsider's Mike Johnson.
The short, positive get-together was described by one source as a "great meeting", with Khan and Levesque thanking those present "for everything they've done and will do for the company."
Khan announced his and Levesque's intention to hold backstage meetings before Raw in an internal memo circulated following Dunn's departure. Fightful Select published the full memo on Monday:
After 40+ years of helping to build WWE and, hands down, the best production and media unit in the entire sports and entertainment business, Kevin Dunn, will be leaving our company as of today.
Before WrestleMania 1, Kevin joined Vince at WWF. Many of us remember a pre-WrestleMania WWF – a regional wrestling company that looked like a regional wrestling company. Then we experienced WrestleMania 1, whether live, on closed circuit or years later elsewhere. It was magic. A regional wrestling company had become a global sports entertainment juggernaut. Vince led the way, side by side with Kevin Dunn. When many of us were kids standing in line waiting to play Pac-Man, Kevin was already on the road breaking his back to help build our company.
When you see our product now, there is nothing that comes close to its look or feel – 52 weeks a year, three to four times a week. It is singular and truly special. No other company can or will do that, and that is because of Kevin and our media team’s hard work, smarts and determination.
We are forever grateful to Kevin. He will always be a part of the WWE family.
Paul and I will be having an in-person meeting with the media team at Raw in San Diego today at 12:00p PT and with our Superstars at 12:30p PT. We look forward to seeing many of you there – and we look forward to crushing 2024 together with all of you. Nick Khan
