According to a report from PWInsider, the long-awaited merger between WWE and UFC is expected to be finalized by the middle of September. This merger will undoubtedly bring significant changes to WWE, including potential company-wide releases.
There is already a “sense of doom and gloom” among some WWE employees, as there is a growing fear that those who are not directly involved with WWE talent or the production studios could find themselves on the “redundancy list” and possibly face layoffs. One long-time WWE employee pointed out that WWE and UFC will no longer need separate travel offices, accounting departments, and other duplicated functions.
In light of these uncertainties, numerous WWE employees are discreetly exploring their options and looking for their next job. They hope to get ahead of any potential layoffs and make a smooth transition. While the exact number of cuts has not been confirmed, it is a major topic of discussion within WWE HQ in Stamford. Employees are facing the reality that the end of McMahon Family ownership is just a few weeks away.
