What made Kevin Dunn leave WWE?

As many might be familiar now, Dunn is someone who has been with WWE way before the company ventured into WrestleMania. It is also stated that he was the pioneer behind the first WrestleMania which had Hulk Hogan and a few other veterans at the main event. For over four decades, he has always reported to just McMahon and no one else.

However, it is rumored that the recent UFC merger might have triggered him to leave the promotion. Apart from that, WWE has witnessed a change in authority since 2022, when Vince McMahon had to step down for a brief period. Since the merger, McMahon has lost most of the authoritative power over WWE and hence the majority of decision-making comes under the TKO Group. Apart from that, the two share a bond since they have worked together for ages. This might be another reason as McMahon barely visits the offices due to his health conditions.
