According to WWE.com, former on-air character John Laurinaitis has resigned as WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Relations. 

While this story could be a work since it is on the company's non-corporate website, considering how Laurinaitis has lost much of his backstage duties and power in real life, this is not that hard to believe. 

Via WWE.com:

Effective immediately, John Laurinaitis is resigning from his position as Senior Vice President of Talent Operations. Following his very public firing from the Monday Night Raw GM position by Vince McMahon at June’s No Way Out, Laurinaitis continued to work behind-the-scenes in his corporate role. After eight years of service in talent relations, he’s “burned out” and now hopes to concentrate on what he knows best: putting together matches and working with WWE talent as a producer.
