Jennifer Pepperman, who was a Senior Writer and Producer for WWE, left the company last week after making the decision to walk. Now, she’s in All Elite Wrestling.
Tenure
Pepperman first joined the company in April 2017. Before making the move to WWE, she had been working as a Producer and Director for a number of soap operas, including shows such as One Life To Live and As the World Turns. She’s a three-time Emmy Award winner in addition to being the longest-tenured female member of the WWE creative team thus far.
Pepperman’s joining AEW was made official on Wednesday, where she will work as the Vice President of Content Development alongside Head of Creative Tony Khan.
New role
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted many people in WWE were expected to see her join AEW and pointed out she has a connection with the AEW-bound Mercedes Mone.
“Well, when she quit last week, I was actually told by WWE that they expected that she would be an AEW very soon because of her connection with Mercedes, as Mercedes is a personal writer as Brian Gewirtz is for Dwayne Johnson. So she got a job as vice president and creative. She’s going to be part of the creative team. And we’ll see.,” Meltzer stated.
