Canyon Ceman reportedly no longer with WWE
Less than a month after our website and others reported and retracted a story that Canyon Ceman was no longer with WWE, PW Insider reported Friday that the senior VP of talent development is no longer with the organization.
From our Dave Meltzer: “The only official response from WWE is that they have not heard that story. When the Ceman story broke some time ago and was denied, it was pretty much said by insiders at the company that the story was basically true, but it was then held up and would take time to play out.”
Ceman was hired by WWE in 2012 as senior director of talent relations and was later promoted to VP of talent development in 2015. He got his latest promotion in 2018 and was responsible for scouting and recruiting for WWE NXT and the developmental system altogether.
After a successful pro volleyball career, Ceman did some consulting before taking over as chief financial officer of the AVP volleyball league before it shut down. He then became an apprentice trader before joining WWE.
