One of the key figures behind the scenes at WWE NXT, Nick Bonanno, has reportedly parted ways with the company, as per a report by PWInsider.
Bonanno, who has been a writer and producer for the NXT Creative Team since 2022, has left following the latest round of television tapings, ensuring he fulfilled his obligations up to that point.
Bonanno’s departure marks another shift in the creative landscape of NXT, which is currently helmed by Shawn Michaels and his team of dedicated creatives who meticulously craft the brand’s storylines.
This news comes shortly after the exit of Jennifer Pepperman, WWE’s Senior Writer and Producer, who recently joined AEW. With Bonanno’s departure, speculation arises whether he might also make a move to AEW or explore other opportunities within the industry.
Bonanno’s tenure with WWE dates back to April 2022, indicating a significant period of involvement in shaping NXT’s narrative direction.
The departure of key creative personnel like Bonanno and Pepperman raises questions about the future trajectory of WWE’s creative team. It remains to be seen if more writers will follow suit and leave the company in the coming months.
As the wrestling landscape continues to evolve, the implications of these departures on NXT’s creative direction and potential shifts in talent to other promotions will undoubtedly be a topic of interest for fans and industry insiders alike.
