AEW Hires Three-Time Emmy Award Winning Writer

AEW CEO Tony Khan has made a valuable addition to his team.
The company is set to announce Jennifer Pepperman as Vice President of Content Development, Sports Illustrated has learned.
Pepperman is a three-time Daytime Emmy Award winner. Up until last week, she was also WWE’s longest-tenured female creative team member, but she opted to leave the company. She had worked for WWE since 2017.
Shout out to @JenPepperman. I have always appreciated your creativity, passion, and the countless time you’ve given to help me and others backstage over the years. I’ll miss your energy, but I know you’ll be great wherever you may roam. My gratitude forever!!! ❤️🙏
