After many years working with WWE as part of their creative team, Jennifer Pepperman jumped ship to AEW back in February, taking on the role of AEW’s Vice President of Content Development. The move preceded the AEW arrival of Mercedes Mone, who worked closely with Pepperman during her time in WWE as Sasha Banks, with many speculating that Mone’s signing was the catalyst that led to Pepperman joining AEW.
