WWE is a company that is constantly changing and it seems another huge change was recently made, which will see John Laurinaitis make his return to a role in the company that he is more than familiar with. This might led to Triple H ‘losing power’ to him, as he used to have a large talent relations role. Triple H’s former rival Brock Lesnar ‘humiliated’ a top AEW wrestler.
According to a report by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, John Laurinaitis has been hired back as WWE Head of Talent Relations. He will be now reporting directly to WWE Executive Vice President of Operations Brad Blum.
Laurinaitis previously worked in that position from 2004 to 2012. He replaced Jim Ross in the position back in 2004, but he resigned from that role in 2012 to work as an agent/producer. Now it seems he is once again back in the role of WWE Head of Talent Relations.
It was further reported that the “talent relations department is being split into talent management and talent branding.” It was also stated that Talent branding works as a “talent agency” that looks to book WWE talent for appearances, television commercials, movies, and other third-party engagements.
Many fans would remember Laurinaitis for his on-screen role as an authority figure in WWE, namely in his feuds against CM Punk and John Cena. He also made a cameo appearance in the WWE Headquarters Money in the Bank match in 2020. A huge Roman Reigns WWE Fastlane spoiler has leaked.
