WWE’s behind-the-scenes shake-up is getting bigger — and now a new round of promotions is putting the focus on the people shaping the product.

After recent changes in talent relations, several WWE employees took to LinkedIn on March 31, 2026 to confirm they’ve moved into new roles — most of them tied directly to WWE NXT, where much of the company’s future is being built.

Andrea Concepcion revealed she’s stepping into a major creative leadership position after rising quickly through the system — starting as an assistant and climbing the ladder in just a few years. She detailed her journey and how fast things came together for her inside WWE.

“I’m happy to share that I have been promoted to Senior Writer & Producer at WWE! I came in as an assistant at 22 years old, became a Writer a year and a half later and to be in this position at 25 is a blessing and I’ll never not be grateful. Every day I do this is a dream come true!”

Brandon Carroll also confirmed his move into a writer position, but his path wasn’t originally tied to wrestling at all — instead, he came from a sports journalism background before making the jump. He explained how his career plans shifted along the way and why taking that risk paid off.

“Blessed to share that I’ve been promoted to Writer, NXT at WWE! Working in wrestling wasn’t what I envisioned when I embarked on my journalism degree at The University of Florida… I thought I would take the college athletics beat reporting route. However, the decision to expand my horizon and pursue a career with another longtime love of mine in the WWE was the best decision I could’ve made in hindsight. It was a scary transition, but one I would surely make again if I could go back. Now, as I near my two-year anniversary with WWE, I’m so grateful to be moving into this Writer position and continue working with such a great team!”

Colby Applegate also confirmed he’s stepping into a writing role, keeping it simple but making it clear this is a major moment in his career: “I’m excited to share I’ve been promoted to Writer, NXT at WWE! ‘Hard work pays off, dreams come true…’”

On the production side, Maurice Jenkins revealed he’s moving into an Associate Producer position — a role that comes with more responsibility behind the scenes. He explained how tough it can be to find real growth in the industry, and how WWE gave him that opportunity. Jenkins then pointed to the support system inside WWE as a key part of his journey.

“I’m blessed to announce that I’ve been promoted to Associate Producer for WWE! When you first step into the industry you hope for a full-time job and a high salary, but one thing that’s not guaranteed is finding a place you can grow and thrive in. Not only have I found that here, but also, people that believe in me, and that feel like much needed family in a constant on the road lifestyle. Thank you to everyone who’s believed in me, and who’s granted me opportunity after opportunity to grow in the space that I’ve been given thus far. All glory be to God! One step on a path of many!”

With multiple promotions happening at once, WWE is clearly stacking its creative and production teams from the inside — especially in NXT, where the next generation of both talent and storytelling is being developed. These moves show the company isn’t just focused on what happens in the ring — it’s building a stronger system behind the scenes to keep everything running at a high level moving forward.

Do you think WWE promoting from within is the right move, or should they be bringing in more outside names to shake things up? Drop your thoughts below.
