Patrick Dooley, WWE’s Senior Vice President of Global Strategy & Creative Operations, has departed WWE according to PWInsider.com.

It is believed that Dooley, who was Paul Levesque’s right hand man in several key areas, was let go as part of a broader reduction in force.

Dooley rose the ranks in seven years, starting in 2018 as a Director, then Senior Director in 2020, promoted to Vice President in 2022, and then Senior Vice President in 2023.
