As previously reported, WWE’s Senior Writer and Producer Jennifer Pepperman chose to part ways with the company. It was emphasized that she was not released but made the decision herself. She has now joined AEW for the long run, and Matt Hardy views it as a positive development.
Jennifer Pepperman, who shares close friendship with former WWE star Mercedes Mone, has joined AEW as the Vice President of Content. She is anticipated to serve as Mercedes’s personal writer, akin to how Brian Gewirtz has been involved with The Rock.
While speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, co-host Jon Alba brought up the hiring of Jennifer Pepperman and noted that it seemed like Hardy believed she could be a significant asset, especially thanks to her WWE background.
“I worked with her when I went back to WWE in 2017. I was there [from] 2017 through 2020, got along good with her, interacted with her some. I don’t know her extremely well, but I do know her. I think it’s very interesting. I think it’s a positive thing that Tony is bringing someone that has been in the WWE format and the WWE writing room and the WWE structuring room, to bring them and give insight on AEW. I think it’s a positive.”
Jennifer Pepperman’s involvement as part of the AEW Creative department has also been revealed. We will have to wait and see whether Jennifer Pepperman’s inclusion will help AEW out in the long run.
