The recent TKO merger has been a nagging concern for various WWE employees. While it bagged a whopping amount for the WWE, with top executives like Nick Khan and Triple H lining their pockets, the futures of their employees hang in the balance. Not only did it result in salary cuts, but it also ended several employees being laid off. Amidst the tensions, it was also reported that nearly 100 employees lost their jobs since the deal took place.

WWE doesn’t seem to be taking any prisoners, with even some who have had a history with the promotion, losing their jobs. Related to the late WWE Hall of Famer, The Ultimate Warrior, this employee was recently laid off from her position in the promotion.

Dana Warrior’s ties with the company

Dana Warrior was a valuable aspect of the WWE. However, this didn’t seem like it did her much good. Shortly after The Ultimate Warrior’s death, WWE introduced the Warrior Award, in his honor. As part of this Dana Warrior became a WWE Ambassador, presenting the award annually to its recipients. Following this, Warrior also joined WWE’s creative team.

However, this was short-lived as she later joined WWE in community outreach. Warrior was a core part of WWE’s efforts in charity events and keeping alive the memory of The Ultimate Warrior. With her firing, it seems like no one else could be safe at WWE. Considering Dana’s significant ties with the company, her exit from the promotion is truly a surprise.
