Triple H acknowledged Kevin Dunn after Vince McMahon's WWE retirement
Vince McMahon announced his retirement from WWE last year in light of an investigation into a hush-money scandal. Shortly after Vince's retirement, fans began to speculate that it was only a matter of time before Kevin Dunn would be let go.

Check out the comments below:
“This is the longest-running stuff on TV, I do not dream for one second that I could fill those shoes by myself, period. It’s going to take everybody here to fill those shoes and continue this on, but we will. The intent is to continue the legacy of what has been going on, what made me fall in love with this business that he created, and to take it to new levels. To take it beyond where it is now. The only way we’re going to do that is with a team. That’s with Steph [Stephanie McMahon], that’s with Nick Khan, that’s with myself, that’s with Kevin Dunn [who produces WWE’s TV programs], that’s with everybody that is here, that is with all this talent," Triple H said.
Kevin Dunn's work behind the scenes has drawn the ire of wrestling fans on several occasions over the years. Dunn's handling of WWE's TV production has left many fans annoyed for years on end, with complaints that the constant camera cuts diminish the viewing experience.
Dunn began working for WWE way back in the mid-80s. After almost a four-decade run, his stint with the global wrestling juggernaut has reportedly come to an end. It would be interesting to hear Dunn's comments about his exit from the Stamford-based company.
