It looks like Jeff Jarrett’s backstage run with AEW has quietly come to an end. According to a new report from Fightful, the WWE Hall of Famer is no longer serving as AEW’s Manager of Live Events and hasn’t held that position “for a while.”
Jarrett’s departure from the role appears to be part of a behind-the-scenes shake-up, as AEW recently posted a listing to hire a new Live Events Manager, signaling that the company is moving forward with a fresh approach to its touring and event operations.
For now, Jarrett remains under contract as an on-screen performer, though his in-ring activity has slowed significantly in 2025. His last notable AEW storyline came earlier this year in a feud involving MJF, and he hasn’t been featured on television since.
While there’s no official word on when—or if—Jarrett will return to AEW programming, his shift away from the live events department marks another change in the company’s evolving backstage structure.
Jarrett joined AEW in late 2022, taking on multiple roles both on-camera and behind the curtain. Given his decades of experience promoting wrestling events across the globe, his exit from the live event position could mark the end of one chapter for “Double J,” while leaving the door open for what comes next—either inside AEW or beyond.
