The Athletic, which is owned by The New York Times, had an in-depth article today covering WWE's Production Czar Lee Fitting being let go by ESPN in 2023, which of course made him available for WWE. Fitting has been a huge asset to WWE and it's presentation.

While at ESPN Fitting oversaw the uber-successful College GameDay show. He was thought to be next in line to head the network's programming before being released in 2023. The article states:

In 2023, a complaint regarding Fitting was made with ESPN’s human resources department, prompting officials at ESPN to question a group of employees, including some prominent female staffers. A short time later Fitting, then 48, was done at ESPN. “It finally caught up to him,” said one of the women questioned.
Fitting, via a spokesperson, denied some of the allegations made against him while choosing not to address others. He declined to comment on the broader characterization of him as someone who mistreated women during his tenure at ESPN or why he was let go by the network.
