WWE head of international departs company
WWE head of international Matthew Drew has left the company after less than two years, according to PWInsider.
It’s unknown if Drew left on his own accord or if he was relieved of his duties. WWE began a round of office cuts last week as it’s assumed they are leaning things out in preparation for a sale this summer.
Drew, who joined WWE in June 2021, had come to WWE from DAZN where he was executive vice president of rights for nearly five years. He is a 2005 Nottingham Law School graduate.
His main job roles in WWE were to grow the company’s business outside the U.S., manage their global media partners, and to work on their international strategies on live events, digital, consumer products and revenue opportunities.
It’s the latest executive departure for WWE as their longtime vice president of public relations Adam Hopkins and vice president of communications Stefanie Fiondella both left the company earlier this month.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
