WWE fires longtime talent relations executive

The changes and consolidations within the new TKO corporate structure have again hit WWE’s front office, once again in their talent relations department.

First reported by PWInsider, Kristin Altman — the company’s vice president of talent relations operations — is no longer with WWE after starting there in 2007.

Altman began her run as a receptionist before moving to the talent relations department, eventually getting promoted to her final role in August 2022. It’s unknown what the reason was for being let go.

It’s the latest exit by a vice president or senior director in a year that has seen a lot of them with many changes in talent relations.

In March, it was revealed that WWE executive vice president of live events John Porco was gone and then in April, executive vice president of talent relations Dan Ventrelle was let go in addition to senior vice president of athlete ID & development Trent Wilfinger.

COO Brad Blum resigned from the company on May 1st after being identified as “Corporate Officer no. 2” in the Vince McMahon vs. Janel Grant lawsuit. Later in the month, it was learned that senior director of TV event relations Steve Rubin was gone after 26 years in addition to vice president of international events Michael Levin.

Executive vice president of WWE TV Chris Kaiser was ousted in June which was preceded by executive VP of development & digital Jamie Horowitz being let go.

Other key executives who parted ways over the last year include longtime production lead and McMahon right-hand man Kevin Dunn, former company president Frank Riddick, and executive vice president of HR Suzette Ramirez-Carr.
