Tony Khan Confirms Fightful Report Regarding Rafael Morffi Finishing With Company
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.
Been blessed with a wonderful
opportunity. Excited to start this new
journey & challenge soon. Happy New Year-stay safe & sound!— Rafael Morffi (@rmorfnyc) December 31, 2023
Fightful was told Morffi is set to do work with the Barclays Center.
