According to a new report from Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, there were several layoffs today in WWE’s marketing department. Thurston says multiple people at the VP level were let go, and theorizes it is part of a restructuring. On Twitter, Thurston wrote “I’m told there were layoffs today to WWE’s marketing department. Multiple people at the VP level were let go. Possibly a part of a restructuring to that department. EVP Catherine Newman was hired this summer as the new head of marketing.” WWE hasn’t commented on the layoffs as of yet and rarely comments on layoffs outside of in-ring talent, but if they do address it we will keep you updated.
