Following last month’s WWE main roster releases and this month’s NXT cuts, it looks as if even more firings are on the horizon within Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment juggernaut.

In a report from PWInsider, there are “a ton of firings” taking place today at WWE’s Stamford HQ amongst the company's office staff.

One name who has already been let go by the company is EVP of WWE’s Advanced Media Group Jaylar Donovan, with the WWE Digital department one that’s due to be hit particularly hard by this latest round of company cuts.

It’s not yet known which other employees have been released by WWE today, although there is said to be shock at some of the important personnel who have been let go in a move that WWE will surely once again put down to “budget cuts” – all while the promotion champions huge revenue streams and profits.

The fallout of today’s firings seems to be that certain WWE departments may end up being merged together, although we’ll hear more on any such developments as and when they happen over the ensuing days and weeks.
