In the aftermath of Friday Night SmackDown executive director Eric Bischoff’s departure from WWE last week, rumors suggest that backstage morale has gone to even lower levels since the start of the month, with the possibility of more releases also hanging in the air as ratings continue to suffer.
In a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Live — as cited on Sunday by WrestlingNews.co — Bryan Alvarez offered an update on the state of the WWE locker room following Bischoff’s departure, revealing that per his sources, more people might be released by the company in the near future. While morale within WWE has allegedly been in less than ideal shape for some time, the mood backstage also seems to have taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks, the veteran wrestling journalist added.
“[A]pparently the morale has taken an even bigger hit since October 1st,” Alvarez was quoted as saying.
