Endeavor’s Mark Shapiro Hints At Upcoming WWE Layoffs
It seems that more WWE layoffs are on the way per Endeavor’s COO.
Endeavor is planning a merger involving UFC and WWE, two companies that they now own after the purchase of WWE last weekend.
While speaking to Puck, it was mentioned that the first target of the merger will be synergies, which could include layoffs and operational efficiencies
“Anything from H.R. to finance to legal to communications production to distribution and marketing. Across every area, you’re going to find cost synergies; you’re going to integrate and ultimately highlight and appoint the best and brightest teams.”

Releases and cost cutting are expected soon for WWE, as Endeavor will look to begin making money back on their investment.
