WWE SVP Patrick Dooley, Levesque's Top Deputy, Departs Company

WWE Senior Vice President Patrick Dooley, described as Paul Levesque's "number two," departed the company in late July, ending his nearly decade-long tenure. Dooley, who joined WWE in 2018 as Director of Global Strategy, rose to SVP in December 2023. He was involved in returning NXT to Full Sail University and played a key role in WWE's purchase of Lucha Libre AAA. His exit coincided with budget-related departures, though his replacement is unknown. The move raises questions about Levesque's position amid declining attendance, despite his recent contract extension.
