The full extent of WWE's office cuts last week has been revealed.

The Endeavor-owned TKO Group Holdings has continued to merge departments since the completion of the WWE-UFC merger in September 2023 and a recent move saw the two companies' live event departments be combined into the TKO Live Events Strategy Team.

WWE also carried out cuts at WWE HQ and WWE Senior Vice President of Entertainment Relations Kristen Prouty, who was instrumental in beginning the working relationship with Logan Paul, was let go. She also booked Raw Guest Hosts during the 2000s and 2010s and Prouty was credited with helping bring in the likes of The Miz and Nikki & Brie Garcia. Tavia Hartley, a talent operations and appearances manager, was also laid off, as was WWE Head Of Corporate Social Responsibility Beth Fisher and a member of her team.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider has since reported that 10 long-standing employees were let go by WWE altogether. Another employee confirmed to have been fired was Kristen Velez, a manager in the Talent Relations department who had been with the company since 2001 and had worked under Kevin Dunn for many years. Further cuts were made to the Travel and Marketing departments, along with firings in other divisions of the business.
