The speculation around Mansury’s potential return to WWE, particularly in a position previously associated with Kevin Dunn, injected a surge of curiosity and anticipation among fans and industry insiders alike.
Furthermore, Apter’s lack of surprise at Kevin Dunn’s departure added another dimension to the conversation. While Dunn’s exit may have caught many off guard, Apter’s insight hinted at undercurrents and potential developments that might have eluded casual observers.
“Possibly. There is also a lot of other people, a lot of other producers that worked under Kevin, that probably would be able to slip into his shoes, but not do the same job that he did. I noticed when I watched Monday Night RAW recently that there were a lot more video packages than there had been in the past, very well produced. So maybe the new company is looking for a new signature in the production end there as well,” said Apter. [5:57 onwards]

And the amount of money that Kevin Dunn, who was fabulous by the way with what he did. It was his stamp on all the shows, on everything. When I fear the amount of money that they might be paying him, they might be you know, cutting down on costs. That was one of the big things that was mentioned.” [0:57 onwards]
