According to PW Insider, Adam Hopkins, who was the Vice President of Communications, has now departed the company. Hopkins first joined the WWE’s fans services department in September 1997 and has worked for the company since.

Over the past few years, Adam Hopkins has voiced introductions for WWE NXT media calls and has helped set up interviews with talents. It was also noted that Hopkins departure as been described as “shocking.”

“We are told that Hopkins was not the only recent exit from the company’s PR side, but certainly his exit would be among the most shocking in recent company history, with one person describing it as the equivalent of ‘Howard Finkel’ exiting.”
