WWE CUTS, LOGO CHANGE COMING, LEGENDS' HOUSE REUNION AND MORE WWE NEWS

By Mike Johnson on 2014-06-19 11:53:58
As we discussed on PWInsider Elite earlier this week, there have been a number of cuts made within WWE, including some I am told haven't come to light yet. There has been some budget cuts in terms of production and road costs and one person in the company believed they would be slowing down on hiring new talents. The expectation is that the cuts will continue over time as the company inches towards the next Quarterly Earnings release which should be late July or early August.

WWE sent out internal documents in the last week noting that as of Summerslam, all products, licensees and company-related materials will be using the logo that was debuted with the launch of the WWE Network. That logo is already on the company jet.

The Legends' House reunion special will air tonight on the WWE Network. It was filmed last year at the Performance Center.

There's talk of doing a WWE World championship ladder match contract signing on Raw this week in Washington, DC.

WWE is teasing issues between Naomi and Cameron as part of a Total Divas storyline.

The top matches for the 6/21 house show at the Nassau Coliseum are now John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt in a Streetfight and WWE Intercontinental champ Bad News Barrett vs. The Miz vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Big E. If anyone is going to any of the WWE live events this weekend, we are seeking live reports.
