In what could only be described as a thrilling pay-per-view-worthy rise, Chris Legentil has bodyslammed his way to a double-duty powerhouse position at WWE! That’s right, folks—grab your popcorn and fold-up chairs, because this executive is now both the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and the Head of Communications. Talk about a title match!
Since Vince McMahon hung up his authoritative boots, WWE has been all about bringing fresh faces into the spotlight, and Legentil is wrestling his way to the top of the card. Previously ruling the ring of communications, he’s now got the talent relations belt around his waist too, following his predecessor’s tag out in April.
Legentil’s climb up the WWE corporate ladder has been faster than a high-flyer’s leap from the top rope. Brought into the WWE fold by none other than WWE President Nick Khan back in 2021, Legentil’s previous gig at DAZN had him dancing around the global stage, setting up the streaming service to punch well above its weight both in the U.S. and internationally.
Even with his heavyweight status, Legentil hasn’t steered clear of the drama—becoming a somewhat controversial figure in the wrestling world. Whether he’s fending off smack talk about The Rock being tardy to the party at WrestleMania, or navigating the backstage politics, Legentil’s got his work cut out for him.
So, what’s next for this titan of the boardroom? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure, in WWE, the drama is just as intense behind the scenes as it is in the ring!
