Adam has been the point of contact with outside media companies to set up interviews. Working for such a long period makes it evident that the man behind WWE’s communications dedicated his life to the company.
Fans criticized the company for Hopkins’ release
Once everyone received the sad news of another WWE official’s layoff from the company, people took to the internet to share their experience with Hopkins. A majority of them, who even once interacted with him, mentioned Hop as a true professional and a great human being.
A true professional and a great human. Really going to miss A Hop.

Others also criticized the promotion for taking such a harsh decision that will eventually leave WWE in a disastrous situation.
Great now there's nobody to vicely preside over the communications, this is a disaster

Adam is one of my best friends period. He literally dedicated his life to WWE, there was no task too big or small for him. He is a genuine person who cared so much for the company, coworkers, talent and press. @WWE management is heartless and soulless. They don’t deserve an Adam https://t.co/0orUlvG2RD

The fact that the high level members of WWE are abandoning ship faster than the Titanic is a REALLY bad sign.

Some also hinted at this release of Adam as the start of layoffs from the company after Mr. McMahon’s return.
I wonder if this is the start of firings or he left on his own

Ugh I hope I’m wrong but it just feels like a domino effect of bad things are happening with WWE, and we all know who’s fault it is.

People believe this decision of WWE is their own loss. However, they are looking forward to seeing where Hop lands next.

Adam is incredibly skilled and passionate about his work. The respect from the talent and media are undeniable. His departure is a real loss for WWE, but I am looking forward to seeing where he lands next. https://t.co/Yl8v74DMrg
