The wave of WWE releases isn’t just affecting wrestlers—backstage personnel are also being shown the door.

Fightful Select reported on March 12, 2025, that WWE has made multiple cuts within its production departments, signaling even deeper changes behind the scenes.

This latest development follows a string of roster cuts that saw Giovanni Vinci, Isla Dawn, Blair Davenport, Akam & Rezar, Paul Ellering, Cedric Alexander, Sonya Deville, and The Good Brothers all let go in recent weeks. Sources have suggested these moves were made to clear space for an upcoming wave of NXT call-ups set to hit the main roster in 2025.

WWE’s decision to trim down its production staff could be part of a broader restructuring effort as the company moves further into its Netflix era and prepares for major changes following WrestleMania 41. While WWE has yet to comment on the internal layoffs, this could impact everything from weekly television production to live event operations.
