Regarding the hiring of Irby, Fightful reports that he will take over the job of Rafael Morffi but we may not see much of his impact till after March. Morffi already had the company booked up through March. Irby is said to have a much different approach than Morffi and many within AEw are excited about the moves.
They state that they are told Irby brought a fresh approach to the logistics end, streamlining the locations of events in a method in which was more more efficient.
