Aitchison had been widely credited as leading WWE’s community outreach programs during her tenure. She was directly responsible for building the company’s relationship with Make-A-Wish and helped launch the company’s old Wrestlemania Reading Challenge.
On top of being honoured with Make-A-Wish’s Chris Greicius Award in both 2006 and 2016, Aitchison was indicted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 after receiving the Warrior Award, with Stephanie McMahon saying the following at the time:
“Sue has dedicated her entire career to helping Wish kids fulfill their dreams and putting smiles on countless families faces. Her heart and character epitomize the essence of the Warrior Award. She is an unsung hero who deserves to be recognized and immortalized in the WWE Hall of Fame.”

The report additionally notes that Aitchison’s departure was met with shock amongst long-time former employees and was yet another sign of the old era of WWE coming to an end.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the departure of Sue Aitchison as soon as we hear more.
