It has been reported that a couple of WWE executives have parted ways with the company. Mike Johnson of PWInsider has reported that WWE Vice President of International Events and General Manager of Emerging Markets Michael Levin has left the company recently.
He had been with the company for over seven years. Levin had worked in WWE’s London office, and Johnson reported that his position was phased out as part of the process of merging WWE and UFC under TKO.
Levin joined the company in 2016 and initially served as Vice President of International before he was named VP of International Events in 2019. He was then promoted to GM Emerging Markets and VP, International Live Events in July 2020.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful then confirmed Levin’s departure and reported that Steve Rubin had departed WWE as well. He had been the Senior Director, TV Event Relations, and he had been with the company for 26 years.
Fightful Select confirmed that Steve Rubin is gone from WWE. Rubin was the Senior Director, TV Event Relations at WWE. He'd been with the company for a full 26 years, starting out as a production assistant, and working his way up through the company.

It has been noted that these departures took place after Chief Operating Officer Brad Blum resigned from the company earlier in May. Blum had been a part of WWE since 2006. He first served as Chief of Staff before he became the Executive Vice President of Operations.
He went on to become the Chief Operating Officer following the company’s deal with Endeavor. He also oversaw “Corporate Strategy, Marketing, Corporate Communications, Creative Services, IT & Technology, Insights & Analytics, Real Estate & Facilities, and Corporate Travel”, as noted by Meltzer.
