According to PWInsider, during the talent meeting prior to this past Monday’s Raw, WWE President Nick Khan praised the retiring Kevin Dunn and commented that Dunn led with “strength.” Khan then said that WWE will “lead with strength” going forward.
It was also said that Dunn was very much praised upon his exit from WWE and was treated in reverence as someone who, alongside Vince McMahon, built WWE up for everyone to be part of today.
PWInsider further indicated one name that has been mentioned a lot internally to fill Dunn’s role is Chris Kaiser, who is the Executive Vice President of Television for WWE. Kaiser has been a big figure behind the scenes in WWE for close to a decade and would be heavily involved in a lot of the management and overseeing of WWE’s TV production. One person described it as Dunn having the “rubber stamp” officially on decisions, but that Kaiser had been the one truly in the trenches in recent years.
