As noted before, longtime WWE director Kerwin Silfies, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 75.
During the February 18th 2026 edition of AEW Dynamite, the announcers acknowledged the death of Silfies. Tony Schiavone referred to Silfies as “a great man and an even better director,” before adding that he was “calm under pressure which in this business, is something else.” Danielson then got emotional when talking about Silfies, saying that he was “very kind and very patient” and that when Danielson got to WWE, he didn’t know anything about TV production but Silfies was kind in teaching him.
