As expected, the WWE cuts began following the merger between WWE and the UFC after Endeavor’s acquisition of WWE, where the companies have since transitioned into one under TKO Holdings Group.
This means talent cuts, employee releases and other changes in WWE, which have transpired in recent weeks.
Pwinsider reports WWE Hall of Famer and Warrior Award recipient Rich Hering is no longer with the company after he quietly exited from WWE over the last week.
He was the Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Risk Management for over 50+ years, starting from the company’s days as the WWWF under Vince McMahon Sr.
The word going around is that Hering chose to retire on his own terms, and this decision was not influenced by Endeavor or anyone else. Many people in the company wanted him to stay, but he decided to go.
Some fans may remember his on-screen appearance as the officiant for the Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth wedding in SummerSlam 1991.
