Lee Fitting’s standing in WWE seems to have not been affected by the recent reports about his departure from ESPN.
People on social media claimed that Fitting’s name was removed from the end credit of WWE shows following a new report about his ESPN departure and he was not mentioned on the December 23 episode of Raw.
This statement is misleading, however, as Fitting had not been credited on the Raw broadcast in a number of episodes preceding the article in question. Furthermore, the WWE executive was listed as a producer on the December 24 episode of NXT in his usual spot with Shawn Michaels and Triple H:
PWinsider also provided an update on his status revealing that WWE officials were actually aware of the circumstances leading to Fitting’s departure from ESPN when he was brought on board in January this year.
A report from the New York Times earlier this month detailed the circumstances of the end of Fitting’s 25-year run with the media giant. It said that the current WWE Production Head was let go following allegations of workplace misconduct with claims that he created a hostile work environment for female employees.
Overall, it doesn’t appear that the surfacing of the allegations have changed Fitting’s status with the company and he continues to work in his regular capacity.
