Jimmy Yang's tryout as a WWE producer is reportedly over, according to PWInsider.
They reported Monday that Yang (James Yun) decided the position wasn't for him and he moved on instead. In late-October, Dave Meltzer reported in that week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Yang had started with the company in the new role.
He has operated several other businesses outside pro wrestling including a party bus company.
The 40-year-old had two previous runs with WWE as an in-ring performer, the most recent of which ended in May 2010. He was a WCW Power Plant graduate and worked for that company, TNA, MLW, All-Japan, Ring of Honor and other indies during his tenure. After retiring in 2013, he returned to action in 2021 alongside his daughter, Jazzy, who is now a pro wrestler.
WWE's current producer crop includes Chris Park, Shane Helms, Molly Holly, Jason Jordan, Petey Williams, TJ Wilson and Kenn Doane.
