Tony Khan confirms the departure of Rafael Morffi.
On December 23, Fightful Select reported that Vice President of Live Events/Touring Rafael Morffi was finishing up with the company.
At the AEW Worlds End media scrum, Tony Khan confirmed the departure.
"What a way to finish your five-year run in AEW with a sell out, Rafael Morffi, who has been our head of live events for five years. He left on the highest of high notes with a home town sell out in New York. He's been a huge part of AEW too. Whether it was New York or all across the world, Raf has been a huge part of the growth of AEW from day one and for five years I've been lucky to work beside Rafael and he's taken on a new position outside of pro wrestling as another great venue, and they'll be very fortunate to have him. I'll miss him very much, we all will," he stated.
Thank you @TonyKhan @AEW talent, staff. I’ll forever remember my time at #AEW fondly. 2024 will be the start of a new era in my professional career.
