WWE has made multiple cuts within its production departments as of March 12, 2025. This latest round of staff reductions extends beyond the in-ring talent releases that have occurred in recent weeks.
Fightful Select reported these backstage personnel departures. The production staff reductions represent a significant change to WWE’s behind-the-scenes operations.
The company has already released several wrestlers in recent weeks. Giovanni Vinci, Isla Dawn, Blair Davenport, Akam and Rezar, Paul Ellering, Cedric Alexander, Sonya Deville, and The Good Brothers were all let go from the company.
These roster cuts reportedly aim to create space for upcoming NXT call-ups to the main roster later in 2025. WWE has not publicly addressed these planned roster movements.
The production staff reductions could be part of WWE’s broader restructuring efforts. The company continues to adapt its operations during its Netflix era, with more changes expected following WrestleMania 41.
WWE has not issued any official statement regarding these internal layoffs. The reductions could potentially impact various aspects of the company’s production, from weekly television to live events.
