Potential update on major backstage changes in WWE following Vince McMahon retirement 

There has been a potential update on some backstage changes within WWE following Vince McMahon's retirement. Multiple people at the "VP level" had reportedly been let go.

McMahon retired from the company after a number of allegations were made against him earlier this year. Following this, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H returned to the company, taking on new roles as Co-CEO and Head of Creative, among other duties.

There have already been some massive changes on and off WWE TV, and they don't seem to be finished yet. In a report from Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, it was revealed that the wrestling industry leaders had restructured their marketing department, leading to several layoffs among staff. Thurston claimed on Twitter that multiple people at the "VP level" had been let go. He also made mention of WWE's new EVP of Marketing, Catherine Newman.
