WWE Reportedly Undergoes Another Round of Staff Layoffs – WWE has reportedly carried out another wave of internal staff layoffs this week as part of its ongoing restructuring under TKO Group Holdings. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, the cuts took place on Thursday and involved “a few” employees from behind the scenes.
Sapp emphasized that these layoffs were strictly the result of restructuring and noted that no active talent releases were tied to this round of departures. At this time, the company has not confirmed which departments were affected or identified the staff members who were let go.
This is not the first time WWE has made such moves since merging with UFC under the TKO umbrella in 2023. Multiple waves of layoffs have taken place over the past year as the company continues to streamline its operations and adjust to its new corporate structure. The changes have largely targeted internal departments rather than on-air talent, but they still reflect the broader shifts taking place within WWE’s business model.
The timing of the layoffs is notable, coming just as WWE heads into one of its busiest weekends of the summer. The company will air its final episode of SmackDown before Sunday’s Clash in Paris premium live event, marking WWE’s first major stadium show in France. Despite the looming international showcase, the restructuring process behind the scenes has continued.
For now, details remain scarce, but the latest round of cuts highlights WWE’s ongoing effort to adapt under TKO leadership, with further changes possible as the company evaluates its staffing needs moving forward.
