Jennifer Pepperman, who was a Senior Writer and Producer for WWE, has departed the company, PWInsider.com has confirmed. We are told that Pepperman was not released but made the decision to leave the company.

Pepperman had been with the company from April 2017 on and before her tenure with WWE, had worked as a Producer and Director for a number of soap operas, including One Life To Live and As the World Turns, among others.

In recent years, Pepperman had worked primarily on the Smackdown brand's women's division.
 
Drew McIntyre’s contract is still up soon.

Ahead of last year’s WWE WrestleMania, Fightful Select reported that Drew McIntyre’s WWE deal was up ahead of WrestleMania 40, and that Drew was operating on the possibility that 2023 could be his last WrestleMania. That won’t be the case. WWE sources have confirmed the obvious -- that he's scheduled for WrestleMania.

Fightful Select has confirmed that McIntyre’s deal now extends past WrestleMania, and that some injury and inactivity time was added to the deal in order to get it there.

Sources near McIntyre claim that there have been conversations between the two sides, and it appears as if they want to get a deal done. However, they also claim that one isn’t done, in place, and that nothing has changed on that front. WWE sources indicated that McIntyre was well respected in the company both by talent and staff for his work, as well as media and community event schedule.

Hold that.
 

ESPN is reporting
that WWE and UFC will announce a five year deal to bring their events to Anaheim, CA regularly.

The report notes:

"Beginning this year, the UFC and WWE will hold at least three events each at the arena through 2028, including the possibility of UFC pay-per-view and Fight Night cards and WWE Raw or SmackDown television programs. The deal does not specifically call for the UFC and WWE to hold events on back-to-back days or in the same week, though it's a possibility."

UFC 298 and Monday Night Raw will be held in Anaheim this Saturday and Monday, respectively.

An official announcement is expected later today.
