WWE has brought an interesting person on board and into an interesting new position.
Fightful Select reports, and PWInsider confirms, that Rob Fee was officially hired as “Long Term Creative Director” this week. He’ll officially start that job this month, but he’s already been working on the “White Rabbit” story that’s been driving the internet crazy for a few weeks.
This title addresses a complaint from many adult and longtime wrestling fans: that under Vince McMahon, WWE was too often reserved for every moment without caring about the impact the last moment had on wrestlers and storylines at the time. coming. Fee’s job would seem to be to solve this problem.

Fightful also says Fee pitched “a Fiend-related movie” to WWE last year shortly before Bray Wyatt’s release. Combine that with his work on the “White Rabbit” stuff, and Fee might be the person we end up praising or blaming if “Bray Wyatt’s character” remains “hard to work with” if/when Windham Rotunda returns.
