6 Important things WWE should have done differently in 2020

#5. The mass releases

A few of the released WWE superstars

April 15th, 2020, will go down as one of the darkest days in WWE over the past decade or so. WWE announced a set of Superstars that they released and the list kept increasing. This included backstage producers, on-screen Superstars, and several backstage staff whose names fans don't know.

If we include the jobs lost in the office as well, the list likely comes up to the hundreds. There were a lot of reports at the time, but WWE got a lot of flak for releasing employees during a pandemic.

The reality is that this situation hasn't just been in WWE - but all over the world in virtually every department. However, the way WWE handled it didn't seem right and it could be seen in the reactions of WWE Superstars on social media.

There have been reports, however, that WWE handed releases mostly to Superstars who had previously requested them anyway, such as Deonna Purrazzo from NXT, The Revival (a few days earlier), and more.

There were many tricky situations but we can only hope that those released will be able to find employment in the future. It seemed like the wrong time for WWE to make that move, especially the way they did it and the fact that they're reportedly making record profits anyway this year.
