WWE reports their second quarter earnings on Thursday. It will be a very newsworthy day for the company as they will report their current WWE Network subscriber numbers. As we mentioned last month when 11 talents were released, departments across the board were told to make reductions. There is a lot of talk that some of those cuts will take place on Thursday. Suffice it to say, it will be a hard week for people that work for the company.

Pwinsider.

If there will be cuts, who do you think goes?

Heath Slater, Titus O'Neil, David Otunga, Darren Young, Rosa Mendes, Great Khali, Hunico, Justin Gabriel

All these people could be released with zero impact to any storylines.

Doubt they'd cut Darren Young. That would be PR nightmare. Steph isn't going to allow that in hr first year as head of PR.

His sexual orientation should have no influence over whether he is cut or not.. but, of course, in today's PC world I can see where you are coming from.
Yep, 'should' is a key word. This topic could be brushed at nausea. Darren Young could be granted immunity for a number of reasons.
There's no question his release would be all over the headlines. The thing is, he was very gracious in 'coming out' to the world. Therefore, one would assume various organizations and media outlets would lend their support to Darren Young.

Despite Young's irrelevance to storylines, releasing him may cause more problems than WWE needs at the moment.

PTP did alright after the Abraham Washington release. That was a glorious angle.

First and most important... Cut Lawler! He's absolutely worthless.
Then cut Titus O' Neal, Otunga, Mark Henry (unless you join him with Woods, Kofi and Big E), Slater, Darren Young, Hunico, Alex Riley, El Matadores & Torito, Khali, Hornswoggle, Tensai, Gabriel, RVD, Zack Ryder... That's pretty much it.

Because WWE will totally be able to hold up their house show schedule (a big part in their revenue) with those cuts.
