WWE had to lay off a considerable amount of people in the company this week. It was a very sad day for everyone involved and April 15th, 2020 will forever be known as far more than just a tax day in WWE.

Click here for a complete list of WWE Superstars and backstage producers who were released. The company laid-off hundreds more employees that fans will never know about.

During the Oh, You Didn’t Know podcast, Brad Shepard said some in the company are now referring to last Wednesday as “Black Wednesday.” A lot of people lost their jobs across the entire company so the name is appropriate.

We’ll have to see if more lay-offs are down the line. Obviously, WWE would want to avoid that after the backlash they received over this round of firings.
