WWE Denies Plans For Roster Cuts Amidst Acquisition Speculation
Stamford, 8 August 2023 - This year, there have been rumors about WWE releasing some of its roster members. These rumors seem to have come from unreliable sources. Fightful Select, a reputable source, talked to people within WWE, both staff and on-air talent, who hadn't heard anything about potential cuts.



Surprisingly, even after these rumors surfaced, there wasn't much backstage discussion about it. This suggests that WWE personnel weren't particularly concerned. The talk of roster cuts gained more traction in April when it was announced that Endeavor, the parent company of UFC, was in the process of buying WWE.





This deal hasn't been finalized yet and is expected to be completed later this year. In recent years, WWE has made several rounds of roster cuts. This was especially noticeable after the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020. During this time, the company released many wrestlers and staff members at once, which caused controversy.





Some people criticized WWE for using the pandemic as an excuse for these releases, especially when the company was making a lot of profit.





Interestingly, Fightful also points out that although there hasn't been an official announcement of a "hiring freeze" by WWE, it's noticeable that no new wrestlers have been hired for the main roster since December.
