WWE Names New Interim Head of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis Placed on Administrative Leave John Laurinaitis has been working as WWE's Head of Talent Relations since being rehired by the company back in March 2021. However, the former wrestler was specifically brought up in last week's Wall Street Journal report regarding Vince McMahon and a $3 million payout to a former WWE paralegal to keep an alleged affair quiet. An internal memo was released late Monday night announcing Laurinaitis has been placed on administrative leave "pending the conclusion of our Board of Directors' internal investigation." Bruce Prichard will now be stepping in as the interim Head of Talent Relations on top of his role as Executive Director for both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown. Wall Street Journal's report first mentioned Laurinaitis by stating, "The board's investigation, which began in April, has unearthed other, older nondisclosure agreements involving claims by former female WWE employees of misconduct by Mr. McMahon and one of his top executives, John Laurinaitis, the head of talent relations at WWE, the people said." Laurinaitis has reportedly not been backstage at WWE events since the initial report dropped. credit: comicbook.com/wwe/news/wwe-john-laurinaitis-leave-bruce-prichard-interim-head-of-talent-relations-vince-mcmahon-affair/
