According to reports by WrestleZone, a WWE source noted that multiple live event staff members, including technical crew and show producers have been released by WWE after being furloughed earlier this year. This follows a report from PWInsider that “over 60 staffers” were let go on Thursday as part of the WWE cuts.

Reportedly, there was hope the event staff would be able to stay on with the company in some way, but now there’s internal concern that a lot more “public releases” could still be coming.
