Kevin Dunn has left WWE as announced by the President of the company.
On December 30th 2023 it was announced that Dunn would be departing WWE in the very near future after serving more than 40 years with WWE.
At 5 am on January 1st 2024, WWE President Nick Khan sent a company-wide email to update all employees on the situation and confirmed that Dunn is no longer a part of WWE. The email has been obtained via PWInsider.
The email from Khan reads as follows:
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 12:30 PT. We look forward to seeing many of you there – and we look forward to crushing 2024 together with all of you.

Who Will Take Over From Kevin Dunn In WWE Production?
Unlike previous instances when a major name has departed the company, no clear successor is apparent for Dunn. With the January 1st episode of WWE Raw being the first without Dunn sitting in the production truck, it will be interesting to see who has been assigned the task for the foreseeable future.
Fans will also be interested to see if there are any obvious changes to the presentation beginning on the Day 1 special.
