A highly experienced former WWE employee has reportedly jumped ship to work in AEW.
The veteran in question is Adam Hopkins. Although not a household name in the industry, his 25 years with the Stamford-based company have given him vast expertise in public relations and communication. This makes him a great addition to Tony Khan's organization.
Furthermore, he was also praised by a number of stars on Triple H's roster upon his exit from the company.

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
Hopkins' new position in AEW was unknown until recently. However, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter now claims that Hopkins will be taking on the Vice President of Communications role. The exact details of what that role entails are yet to be clarified.
It remains to be seen how Adam Hopkins' extensive experience in the pro-wrestling business will contribute to the Jacksonville-based promotion's quality in the coming weeks.
Tony Khan has also previously hired another ex-WWE executive to AEW
Adam Hopkins is not the first former WWE executive acquisition that Tony Khan has managed to make over the last few years.
The All Elite president is well known for his tendency to hire both underrated and veteran talents to his roster. A large section of AEW pro-wrestlers are former WWE talents, including Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Adam Cole, and Chris Jericho. It seems that Tony Khan's penchant for hiring veterans is not limited to wrestlers as well.
The AEW president also acquired Michael Mansury last year as Senior Vice President and Co-Executive Producer. Mansury was reportedly a significant member of the Triple H administration before he left the Stamford-based promotion. He was also compared to Kevin Dunn at one point.
As of now, only time will tell what other changes Tony Khan has in mind to improve his product.
