In a recent turn of events, WWE has undergone corporate releases affecting various departments and personnel. According to PW Insider, yesterday's releases impacted finance, the sales and partnerships team, human relations, and production. Among those let go were several Senior Vice Presidents, including Craig Stimmel, Karen Mullane, Michael Weitz, Matt Geyer, and Stewart Frey. The restructuring within WWE has raised eyebrows and stirred speculation about the company's future direction.

Meanwhile, reports from The Observer shed light on Drew McIntyre's unexpected exit from Survivor Series. Contrary to initial assumptions, it was revealed that McIntyre's outburst was not a scripted angle. The Scottish superstar was reportedly "very upset about something," although the exact details remain undisclosed. Fortunately, the issue was swiftly resolved and is now deemed as a non-significant matter.

WWE's quest for a new TV deal intensifies, with rumors circulating about potential suitors. However, the chances of a partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) seem unlikely, as per Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Speculation arose that WBD might own a percentage of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), making it less favorable for them to pursue a deal with WWE. Despite WWE CEO Nick Khan's pitch to WBD in October, it was ultimately turned down, leaving the future of Raw's TV rights uncertain.

On the AEW front, fan-favorite Bandido's return to the ring has faced another setback. As reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bandido requires an additional surgery for his injured wrist. This development is expected to push back his anticipated comeback until the summer of 2024. The news has disappointed AEW fans who were eagerly awaiting Bandido's in-ring return.

Additionally, multiple outlets have reported the absence of Chuck Taylor on AEW television. The reason behind his absence has been identified as a foot injury. While no specific details of the injury are revealed, it appears to be keeping Taylor out of action and impacting his participation in AEW events.

As the wrestling landscape continues to evolve, fans and pundits await further updates on the corporate restructuring within WWE and the potential implications it could have on the industry. Meanwhile, the recovery timelines for Drew McIntyre and AEW star Bandido are closely monitored, as their respective returns to the ring are eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide.
