UPDATE: Pat Buck has confirmed that he’s exited WWE, posting an official statement on his exit on social media. Buck shared the following post to his Twitter account, the full text of which is below:

“As a producer/agent, I feel that I have accomplished everything I wanted to do within WWE in the last three years.

My endless gratitude beams from working with so many wonderful talents, especially the ultra talented Women’s Division.

To my Producer brothers (and sister): You are the greatest collection of misfits that I’ve ever been with. I already miss my second family. Thank you John Laurinaitis for bringing me into this wonderful group and thank you Freebird for being our foul mouthed general.

And to my fellow New Yawka, Paul Heyman. Thanks for providing a mitzvah and helping this gentile out.

Sending love to the production truck, stage crew, parking, travel, makeup, photo, digital, security, IT, writers, props, social, legal, seamsters, live events, medical, and any other department that I’ve leaned on for something.

I look forward to using my new time to return/expand my training schools/promotions, working all over, and sleeping in my own bed more than twice a week.

To my darling wife, Lauren and baby Harrison. I don’t know how you put up with this gypsy. I <3 you both. Dada will be home soon."

ORIGINAL: PWInsider reports that WWE producer Pat Buck (real name Pat Buckridge) has left the company after producing several matches at Wrestlemania. Buck produced Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair, as well as Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar (with Michael Hayes). He told the company today and has already left. He will not be at tonight’s RAW taping.

After his work on Wrestlemania, Buck felt he had achieved his goals of producing main events for the biggest show of the year. Now he reportedly feels he needs to focus on his family, which the WWE schedule wouldn’t let him do all the time.

Buck also worked in Talent Relations. He was also a liaison between WWE and independent talents that worked as extras at PPVs and TV tapings. He has also been looking for possible new signings.

Buck originally signed with WWE as a producer in 2019 after working independently, including OVW (when it was a WWE developmental territory). He runs the Create-A-Pro Wrestling Academies in New Jersey and Long Island with Brian Myers and is the owner of WrestlePro in Jersey.
