How would the road crew stay home tomorrow and still put on a show tomorrow night?

Because it's bullshit.

I assume it was just corporate but not reported that way. WWE Corporate is expected to get deep layoffs since Endeavor already can cover a lot of what WWE Corporate does. So top people will be merged, the rest laid off.  Endeavor said their goal is between 50 and 100 million in cuts.

Reported that talent did not get the memo but it was reported by SRS so who knows.  But makes zero sense to do any cuts on the day of a show.  No clue if others on road teams were included or not.

But people will be cut today, with a talent review also coming.  WWE corporate is 800 employees so to get 50 million savings in cuts there alone is not likely.

Jamie Horowitz, Executive Vice President of Development and Digital first big name released.   Catherine Newman, Executive Vice President and Head of Marketing also gone.

They coming for them evps!

They are the ones making the big money. They will keep a few team members to migrates stuff, but the rest of the teams I assume are also gone. A few more corporate people also gone but not anyone that most will know or care about.

No talent is expected to be released today.

Nick Khan will leave sometime in the near future.

Dana Warrior is gone

Is the Warrior Award going with her, or is it going to be rebadged as something else?

I never understood this signing to start with.

It should be the Shad Award in honour of someone that actually did something selfless.

Instead of being in honour of someone who likely after being visited by a talking coyote while in a cocaine fueled craze changed his name to 'Warrior'

They did drop the ball on a Shad award. Totally agree it should be renamed.

Punk teasing he is coming back after his 90 days are up.

Endeavor will make them hire punk because they know he draws in UFC and WWE. Mark my words he shows up with the AEW title he never lost.

Survivor Series is where?

Drum roll please...


Chicago.

Wonder what WWE is going to do with all the unprofessional children there, like Seth, AJ, Miz, Rock and Cena? I also assume Ace is being hired, as Punk will not work with HHH or Regal and will need a go between.

There's a weird sense of irony. In 2011, Punk was famously criticising Hunter and the WWE for what it had become.

Fast-forward a few years and it's as if Hunter had actually listened to Punk and NXT explodes into an independent wrestling fans wet dream.

WWE exists today and is experiencing its current acclaim because of the work done with NXT. Including developing some of the most deserving independent workers in the world, a women's revolution and shifting to long term storytelling.

I can't help to think Punks words on change motivated Triple H.

But here's the thing, Hunter took that criticism and made the most significant change the company had seen since the end of the Attitude era. Punk has just bitched and moaned and alienated everyone in the business.

Punk's got no where else to go, and I would bet, the stronger leaders from WWE would make him very aware of this fact, and they don't actually need him and it is a privilege for him to be back.. and likely remind him also, most of the WWE roster would whoop his ass in half a second if he starts throwing hands.

New reports are Jade will go to the WWE performance center next week and be in and out for the next 90 days.  I assume we see her in the Royal Rumble, if not winning it.  Rocketing her to WM locks one of the women's main events easily and plenty of girls can carry her as well.  Lords knows the older girls carried people in far, far rougher shape than her.

Do hope these rumors are true, as her spending three months in the performance center working on chain wrestling means she can fill in her major weaknesses.  She has come nowhere close to her full potential, and working with the WWE crew, she is more likely to hit it.



WWE was starting to change before Punk pipebomb repeat.  They already moved from OVW to FCW, and FCW laid the framework for what would become NXT.  As guys retired or left for Hollywood a lot of the politics backstage went away too, as the guys who came up on the indys post 2000 were not really into the politics that the attitude people were and were more used to going out night in and night out and busting their asses.

Jade going to the performance center, for three months would be a good call. Have her debut at the Royal Rumble similar to AJ Styles when he came to the WWE.

Christ... Jade winning The Royal Rumble?

You've lost your mind.

The Jade morning news is fucking hilarious.

Insider reports that Jade started at the performance today.

SRS reports Jade is not in Orlando yet.

Random fan sees Jade on an Orlando to Atlanta flight while boarding a flight.

Like holy shit take two seconds to confirm the damn story guys or leave it open.

I'm not sure why people bother reading wrestling "journalism". Waste of time and energy.

I might enjoy Jade in WWE. At least more than Nia Jax.

Also reported Punk will not sue AEW and will just lay low while his people flood stories of him going to WWE in hopes WWE will rehire him.

Friday 12% or so of WWE corporate was fired. Over 100 people. Morale is said to be decimated as more rounds are still to come. Believed there will be no cuts to the UFC side.

Mustafa Ali finally got his release.  Emma also released.

Just announced, Rick Boogs is also gone.
