With WWE making massive cutbacks due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, over 20 superstars were released on Wednesday. The company has also furloughed nine backstage producers including:
- Shane Helms
- Lance Storm
- Dave “Fit” Finlay
- Billy Kidman
- Mike Rotunda
- Pat Buck
- Shawn Daivari
- Scott Armstrong
- Sarah Stock
All of them were put on furlough according to the Wrestling Observer meaning they have each been temporarily been suspended without pay and could be brought back to work in the future rather than being outright released.
