WWE has reportedly released tenured employee Sue Aitchison, according to PWInsider. She had been with the company since 1986, serving as the Director of Community Relations. During her time with the promotion, she was credited for building the relationship between WWE and Make-A-Wish and she helped launch the defunct WrestleMania Reading Challenge.
In 2019, Aitchison was bestowed the honor of the Warrior Award for that year's WWE Hall of Fame class, presented by Stephanie McMahon. McMahon said at the time,"Sue has dedicated her entire career to helping Wish kids fulfill their dreams and putting smiles on countless families faces. Her heart and character epitomize the essence of the Warrior Award. She is an unsung hero who deserves to be recognized and immortalized in the WWE Hall of Fame.
The shocking announcement comes at a time where both WWE and TKO are looking to get rid of the old WWE which Vince McMahon had his finger prints all over. As of February, Vince was under federal investigation following sex trafficking allegations brought forth by former employee Janel Grant. Over the last few months, WWE has really driven home the"Triple H era" of WWE, and that was clear more than ever during WrestleMania weekend.

According to reports, those entrances, introduced in the Kevin Dunn era of WWE, will likely be saved for special events like PLE's.
