WWE has been experiencing a wave of changes in 2024, with numerous prominent figures bidding farewell to the company. The trend continues as Michael Levin, a significant backstage figure, has reportedly parted ways with the global wrestling powerhouse.
For the past seven years, Michael held the position of Vice President of International Events and General Manager of Emerging Markets within WWE, operating from the company’s London office. Reports from PWInsider suggest that Levin’s departure is linked to the ongoing integration of WWE and UFC by the TKO Group. This move follows a string of exits by various backstage personalities from the Stamford-based promotion over the recent months, hinting at more changes to come.
In addition to these backstage shifts, NXT recently saw the release of several talents from their contracts, while Triple H confirmed the departure of Drew Gulak after the conclusion of his contract. Gulak faced criticism after allegations of misconduct surfaced, notably involving Ronda Rousey.

Last year, WWE executed a series of mass releases, parting ways with well-known names like Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, and Shelton Benjamin. More recently, Jinder Mahal, alongside a few other superstars, was also released by the company.
The constant flux of personnel within WWE underscores the ever-evolving terrain of the wrestling industry, keeping fans and insiders alike on their toes as they anticipate the impact of these departures on the future of the company.
