WWE Headquarters Tense as Layoffs and Restructuring Unfold – In the wake of WWE’s recent acquisition, the company has initiated a series of layoffs, and one notable departure is Andrew Levine, the former Vice President of International & Platform Strategy. Levine had joined WWE in May 2018 after previous stints with Distractify and Green Matters.

Reports indicate that the WWE Network and Podcasting divisions have been particularly affected by these layoffs, although specific details regarding the extent and identities of those affected remain unclear. Estimates suggest that at least 40-50 employees have been let go, with the possibility of more departures.

The atmosphere at WWE headquarters is described as tense, as employees anxiously await updates from Human Resources and internal memos regarding the layoffs. The company had asked employees to work from home for the day to facilitate private and respectful layoff discussions. Unfortunately, for those already released, this means there was no opportunity for them to return to the office to bid farewell or collect their belongings, marking an unceremonious end to their time with WWE.

PWInsider has reiterated that talent cuts are not expected on this day, as the layoffs primarily focus on streamlining and eliminating redundancy as WWE and UFC offices merge under the TKO Group Holdings banner. The general consensus is that the WWE roster, production team, on-air talents, and those who work directly with talents, such as producers and coaches, will not be impacted by these layoffs.
