Top WWE Producer Quits After WrestleMania 38 Main Event
This WWE producer has left the company after working on Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar at 'Mania.
WWE producer Pat Buck has left WWE after working on several top WrestleMania 38 matches this past week, reports PWInsider's Mike Johnson.
The 38-year-old had produced SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey solo on Saturday, then collaborated with Michael Hayes on Universal Champion Roman Reigns and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar's 'Winner Take All' headliner on Sunday. On Monday, Buck resigned.
Sources indicated that after achieving his goal of working on main-event matches for the biggest wrestling show of the year, Buck wanted to focus his attention on his family, which he couldn't consistently do while working to WWE's notoriously busy schedule.
Buck, who had been with WWE since 2019, had also worked for WWE in a talent relations role, as well as serving as the go-between for independent talents booked by the promotion as extras - and as a talent scout.
Pat issued the following statement shortly after news of his departure broke, thanking those who had helped him along the way, promising his family he'd soon be home:-

His run as an independent wrestler aside, Buck was best known for his work as Rahway, New Jersey-based group WrestlePro's owner prior to joining WWE.
