Zelina & the other 2 guys in Lwo might get cut.

Zelina no but those other two guys I could see because they not even heavily involved in the stories anymore. It's always just Rey, Santos and Zelina. They will keep zelina because they see she has a big Latin following
 
PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources that Jamie Horowitz, who held the post of Executive Vice President of Development and Digital, WWE, is no longer with World Wrestling Entertainment as a result of the post-Endeavor aquisition layoffs.

Horowitz had been with the company from June 2021 on, coming over from streaming DAZN, where he was Executive Vice President of Global Content.

He was among those brought into the company by now-WWE President Nick Khan. In that regard, his departure is somewhat surprising
 
Catherine Newman, WWE's Executive Vice President and Head of Marketing, has departed the company as a result of today's post-Endeavor acquisition layoffs, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

In WWE, she oversaw Marketing, Brand, Community Relations, Entertainment Relations, Creative Services and Photography.


Newman joined the company in June 2022 after working as Chief Marketing Officer of Manchester United Media.
 
Amanda Bloom, who held the post as WWE's Director, Enterprise Master Data & Governance is the latest confirmed departure from the company as part of the post-Endeavor acquisition layoffs, PWInsider.com has learned.

Bloom was with WWE for the past seven years and was extremely important behind the scenes for the company's Technology Department in regard to Metadata, how the company used, scrutinized and evaluated that material.

Bloom was also responsible for designing the foundational content data model for navigation and discovery on the WWE Network and managed a ton of internal classifications and categorizations to help the company's internal technology processes be as efficient as possible.

This is a major departure from that area of the company.
 
As you can imagine, this is not a great day for those working for WWE, but an inevitable one they (and we) all knew was coming. There are rumors among WWE employees that this could be a good percentage of the company's staff but we have no way of confirming how many at this time. Everyone we've spoken to is pretty much on pins and needles waiting to see if they receive word they need to jump on a Zoom call with the company, realizing that if they receive one, their time with the company has to be done. We reported for weeks that employees were gritting their teeth waiting for the new reality to set in. Today, it does. I just wanted to say that on behalf of everyone here at the site, we send our best wishes to everyone there as no one ever wants to be in that position and even if their job is safe at the end of the day, it's a pretty emotionally wrenching process for everyone to go through, but it's reality after a big acquisition like Endeavor buying the company.

For those who have asked, we have been told there are no plans for talent cuts today. Today is primarily about cutting employees who would be considered redundant as UFC and WWE's offices are combined. The belief among those we have spoken with is that the WWE roster, the production team, on-air talents and those who work with talents, such as producers, coaches, etc. would not be part of today's cuts.
