Keep Going: Five More People Gone From WWE

They’re not done yet. There have been a lot of departures from WWE over the last two years and the trend continued this week with several more wrestlers being let go. These are the kind of moves that can change the way the company works, but they are not alone. In addition to letting wrestlers go, there are other people who now no longer work for WWE after this week.

Five more backstage employees have departed WWE this week. WWE has announced that Chief Financial Officer Kristina Salen has left WWE, with Frank A. Riddick being announced as her replacement. According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, Salen was not liked in WWE and she was a reason why several finance department employees also left. Salen had been with the company since August 2020.

In addition, according to Fightful Select, the following employees have also left WWE:

Lauren Petrucelli (Vice President of Branding)
John Stamatis (Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Sales Strategy)
Laura Todd (Vice President of Partnership Marketing)
Mike Giacco (Talent Sales and Global Partnerships department)

There is no word on why the four left. Giacco has appeared on WWE programming before, having defeated R-Truth to win the 24/7 Title in November 2019 before losing it back later in the day.

Opinion: I’m not sure what is going on behind the scenes in WWE, but it is pretty clear that things are changing almost every single week. That is not the kind of thing that you see often very happen, but it is quite the shakeup when it does take place. It should be interesting to see where all of this shakes out, because WWE is all over the map these days with all of the changes.
