As noted late last night here on the website, there have been more changes behind the scene sin WWE. They include…

* Nicole Dorazio left after working in talent relations for over a decade. She had been the assistant to both Jim Ross and John Laurinaitis when they were in charge of talent relations. No word yet on why she is no longer with WWE.

* Ann Russo-Gordan, who was previously in charge of WWE’s Wellness and rehab programs, resigned due to burnout and health issues.

* Raphael Morffi, who was the head of WWE live events, has been let go. He had been promoting WWE’s live events in the Northeast. John Porco is now filling that role. Porco was close with Shane McMahon back when Shane was still with WWE and has a strong reputation.
