Over 10 Backstage Employees Were Released From WWE Before Talent Releases

WWE has let go of several employees in a new round of internal layoffs this week. According to PWInsider, the cuts were made across multiple departments, including Creative Services and Photography.

As we previously noted, one of the most notable exits was Christine Lubrano, who was the Senior Vice President of Creative Writing Operations. Lubrano had joined WWE in January 2021 and played a major role in managing the creative side of the company.

She was responsible for managing all strategic aspects of the company’s creative department. The creative teams for RAW, SmackDown, and NXT reported to both her and Bruce Prichard, with both ultimately reporting to WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H.

WWE broadcast personality Ryan Pappolla was among those released during yesterday’s round of staff cuts.

Pappolla had spent nearly 10 years with the company, beginning as an intern and initially contributing on the editorial side before moving into an on-air role. He became known for his work on WWE Now and later as a host on WWE’s show The Bump. Most recently, he had been featured on WWE’s Twitch channel, hosting Vault Watchalong broadcasts and RAW Sidecasts.

WWE has not released an official comment about the layoffs, but the report said that between 10 and 12 people were let go so far. That number could increase.
