AEW has officially parted ways with producer Sarah Stock, and details on her exit are still under wraps.

Fightful Select confirmed Stock is no longer with the company, ending her two-year run behind the scenes. She had joined AEW after a five-year stint with WWE as a producer from 2015 to 2020, where she developed a reputation for being firm when it came to in-ring guidelines and backstage structure.

Stock hadn’t wrestled since 2015, aside from a brief return in 2022 for a few tag matches in Mexico. She had been serving as an agent and coach within AEW’s growing production team.

As for why she was let go? That’s still a mystery. Sources haven’t pinned down a definitive reason for her departure, but there is some speculation. According to the report, “We’ve heard that she did raise issues with the company’s mental health program and department being heavily shifted, but haven’t heard if that contributed to the departure.”
