In what was one of the darkest period in WWE history, the wrestling company released around 20 employees at one go, amidst the coronavirus outbreak! Wrestlers like Rusev, Kurt Angle, Drake Maverick and Zack Ryder were fired as a measure to help compensate for the financial losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the controversial move will help WWE save USD 4 million monthly along with cash flow improvement of USD 140 million.
