Many divisions within the company are suffering due to the decrease in workforce, and some feel they now have more on their plate than usual.
Two departments saw heavy cuts, including the live events and digital department.
Cuts were across the board in every division. We are told that the live events division was especially hit hard since there aren’t any events currently and the digital area of the company also suffered deep cuts as well.
WWE employees who were furloughed are expected to be off work for less than six months, with the earliest date reported as July 1. This timeline can change due to how fluid the current health crisis is.
