WWE Fires More Employees

WWE has swung the axe again behind the scenes with several corporate employees let go by the company.

Just days after the Endeavor takeover of WWE was completed in September, the company laid off over 100 backstage employees.

Since then, cuts have come to the roster as well with stars such as Matt Riddle, Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, and several others let go.

On the 1st of December NXT broadcaster McKenzie Mitchell confirmed she had been released by WWE and now Wrestlenomics has reported that more cuts have taken place behind the scenes.
