WWE departures have been a very hot topic recently as the company released over two dozen names following WrestleMania, and today it was confirmed that Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, JC Mateo and Tonga Loa are all done with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Now another departure has been confirmed as Gavin O’Shea who worked for the company as a director and producer confirmed that his run with WWE has come to an end when he posted the following on Linkedin:
“After 25 years, losing my job wasn’t part of the plan. For those memorable 25 years at WWE, I’ve seen, heard and experienced it all. After all, I grew up there, made friends and learned by doing.
Like many people, I tied a piece of my identity to what I do every day. So when that suddenly changed, it felt unsettling, humbling… and honestly, a little scary.
But here’s what I’m learning in real time:
• Your job is something you do — not who you are • Setbacks can create space for better opportunities • Resilience isn’t a buzzword — it’s a skill you build through moments like this.
I’m taking this time to reflect, reset, and refocus on what I truly want in my next chapter. I’m incredibly grateful for the people I’ve worked with, the lessons I’ve learned, and the support I’ve already received.
If you know of opportunities or just want to connect, I’d love to hear from you.
Onward.
Gavin.”
