The Las Vegas Raiders’ former interim team president and former counsel, Dan Ventrelle, has found a new job.
Ventrelle is working with WWE, which staged a major event show at Raiders-run Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in August 2021.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE chief content officer, had this to say to LVSportsBiz.com about Ventrelle’s hiring: “We had the opportunity to work closely with Dan when we staged our first full-capacity stadium show coming out of Covid in 2021.
“SummerSlam at Allegiant Stadium was a tremendous success, and we were impressed by Dan’s business acumen and approach to working with high-level talent. We’re excited to have an executive of his caliber on board.”
A former 18-year Raiders staffer, Ventrelle was fired by team owner Mark Davis in early May after Ventrelle said he reported hostile workplace allegations to the NFL to investigate.
Davis had named Ventrelle as interim president in July 2021 after former Raiders president Marc Badain abruptly left.
Only two months ago in early July, Davis hired Sandra Douglass Morgan as permanent Raiders president.
As the Raiders’ top lawyer, Ventrelle worked on the agreement and legislative bill that paved the way for the NFL team to move to Las Vegas and Southern Nevada to contribute $750 million toward the construction of the 62,500-seat stadium off the Strip.
