WWE News: New talent development hire has a volleyball background

WWE has hired Canyon Cemen to serve as the senior director of talent development. He previously worked as a Fixed Income Analyst and Apprentice Trader at Diamondback Capital.

Powell's POV: The 39 year-old Cemen won the silver medal at the 1997 World Championships of volleyball with partner Mike Whitmarsh. He attended Stanford University and has a bachelors degree in economics and a master's degree in sociology. It would appear that he was hired to replace Ty Bailey, who was fired earlier this month.
