In an update on changes behind the scenes within WWE, PWInsider.com reported yesterday that in recent weeks, Adam Pearce has moved up in terms of responsibilities behind the scenes. We confirmed this morning that Pearce's new title is Director of Live Events.
In the past, that role has usually meant overseeing live events and touring creative and lineups, so it's another sign that WWE is preparing strategies for returning to the road. This would have been a role previously filled by Michael Hayes, who in recent months, has been working on producing many of the main event matches and angles for Roman Reigns on the Smackdown brand. So, it's a case of Hayes putting his expertise elsewhere and Pearce moving up the ladder.
PWInsider.com is told that Pearce would also still be producing matches in his new role and overseeing other producers alongside Jason Jordan. We are told that under the new hierarchy, he would fall under John Laurinaitis' umbrella.
In recent weeks, there have been a number of changes to WWE's corporate makeup, including a number of departures as well as increased power for WWE President Nick Khan and CFO Kristina Salen, who we are told are now overseeing different divisions that in prior regimes, those in their positions did not directly oversee. As we have previously reported, Vince McMahon has given the duo, to quote the late Stan Lee, great power and great responsibility, and they are using it to create sweeping change within WWE HQ and beyond.
