Tony Khan has made a big signing for his promotion as former WWE Vice President of Communications Adam Hopkins has signed with AEW.
PWInsider.com reported the news today. It’s unclear what his title with AEW will be, but it will be on the PR side of things to help the company, given his background. The report added that Hopkins had started last Wednesday at Dynamite in St. Louis.
It’s a big get for AEW as he had been one of WWE’s longest-tenured employees after joining the company in 1997 as part of the Fans Services department.
While with WWE, he had titles such as Manager of Media Relations, Director of Communications, and Senior Manager, Public Relations & Corporate Communication. He was well respected among the media while with WWE.
Some people in WWE have credited him for the company reaching out to wrestling media, leading to conference calls for NXT with Triple H and Shawn Michaels. He departed earlier this year.
