One of WWE’s longest-tenured on-air personalities is departing the company.
Scott Stanford, who first joined WWE in 2009, announced today that his run with the promotion has come to an end. He hosted various programming for WWE over the past 15 years and is best known as the longtime host of the WWE Network/Peacock series “This Week in WWE.”
