An AEW original is exiting the promotion reports PWInsider.
Rafael Morffi, the vice president of live events & touring, will be ending his tenure with the company after the World’s End event on December 30th.
Morffi is leaving for a position with the Barclays Center arena and the Brooklyn Nets.
Morrfi’s family resides in Brooklyn which is where the Barclays Center is located.
In North America, AEW has struggled with anemic attendance all throughout 2023 for its live events. For example, its November 1st episode of AEW Dynamite was only attended by 3,100 people.
Morffi is one of several members of the key AEW leadership departing the company. They include Kevin Sullivan, vice president of post production, who was released this month and on-screen talent and vice president of show & creative coordination, QT Marshall, is exiting AEW at the end of 2023.
