Another round of staff layoffs has reportedly taken place within WWE this week. On Thursday, several internal staff members were let go as part of the company’s ongoing restructuring under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella.
WWE Staff Layoffs
The news was first reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, who stated that there were “a few” staff layoffs today. He specified that these departures were a “result of restructuring” and that he had “heard of no talent releases” as part of this specific round of cuts.
As of this writing, no specific details have been released regarding the identities of the people who have been let go or which departments were affected.
A Trend Of WWE Restructuring
Since the merger of WWE and UFC to form TKO Group Holdings in 2023, the company has done several rounds of staff layoffs as part of its internal restructuring process. This latest round of departures continues that trend.
The latest round of departures comes as WWE heads into a busy international weekend, with the final episode of SmackDown today, before the Clash in Paris premium live event in France on Sunday.Â
