According to Fightful Select, a large number of those employees left that meeting quite upset, as WWE informed the staff that they would not be provided with any new promotions, raises, or bonuses for the coming future. Reports are this heavily affected the team’s morale, as the company is still increasing revenue, despite the pandemic.
Revenue’s will continue to grow, WWE announced their partnership with the Peacock service, which will be the new home of the WWE Network beginning with the upcoming Fastlane pay per view.
