WWE’s landscape is evolving dramatically following Kevin Dunn’s exit, ushering in a fresh era under the direction of Lee Fitting. With this transition, innovative segments are taking center stage, capturing the attention of avid fans.
A Shift in WWE Production Dynamics
Since bidding farewell to the Kevin Dunn era, WWE programming has undergone noticeable changes. The approach, now led by Lee Fitting, has introduced elements previously overlooked. What was once unconventional is now becoming standard practice.
New Video Elements Unveiled
Distinctive videos have emerged on both WWE Raw and Smackdown, presenting a departure from the previous norm. In one, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven engage Kayden Carter and Katana Chance at a club, while on Smackdown, the spotlight is on Butch/Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.
Sean Sapp, behind Fightful’s paywall, revealed that the freedom to produce these promos stems from Kevin Dunn’s departure. Jeremy Borash heads the team responsible for these innovations, a team meticulously assembled during his tenure at NXT.
NXT’s Influence on the Change
Comparisons with NXT are apt, as Triple H empowered Jeremy Borash to shape a team over the past three years, operating discreetly beneath Kevin Dunn’s radar. With Dunn’s exit, there is a newfound opportunity to infuse NXT-style promos across all WWE shows.

“We’ve spoken to several people associated with helping put together the promos that spoke highly of the new process and the freedom to do them. One source noted that under Dunn, the segment would have likely cut away to several different things, but the new method was to let the characters breathe, and the segment to play out.”
Positive Reception Backstage
Reception of these innovative segments backstage has been overwhelmingly positive. The departure from Dunn’s conventional approach, which often involved abrupt transitions, allows characters to breathe and storylines to unfold organically.
Looking Ahead
The departure of Kevin Dunn, a surprising move within the WWE hierarchy, signals a willingness to embrace change. As WWE forges ahead without Dunn, there’s an evident openness to explore ideas that were previously met with resistance.
