As previously reported, the company made a big addition to their team by hiring Michael Mansury, who was a huge name in WWE, as he was the Vice President of Global Television Production for the company.
In fact, Mansury was likely going to replace Kevin Dunn in the future. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, part of the deal for Mansury being hired is that Warner Brothers Discovery and Tony Khan have decided to change the look of their television programming. It was added that the changes will be reflected from January next year.
The company made a major hire this week with Michael Mansury as the new Senior Vice President and co-Executive Producer (with Tony Khan) going forward. He started on this week’s television. Part of the deal is that WBD and Khan had decided to change the look of the show. The planned changes are to go into effect in January at some point. Mansury worked for WWE from 2009 until quitting the company in May 2020. He got promotion after promotion and was named Vice President of Global Television Production in 2016.
