The merger between WWE and UFC's parent company, Endeavor, is indeed a monumental deal that will undoubtedly shape the landscape of both professional wrestling and combat sports. However, the fallout from this merger has left many fans and industry insiders worried about the future of WWE, particularly in regards to potential cuts and changes to the company's production and roster. ## In a recent interview with Lightshed Live, Nick Khan, WWE's President and Chief Revenue Officer, provided some insight into what fans can expect in the wake of this historic merger. Khan revealed that WWE will be making a staggering $50 million in cuts, but he also noted that the on-screen product will remain largely unchanged. ## This is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the WWE team, who are committed to delivering top-quality entertainment to fans around the world. Despite the challenges posed by this merger, WWE is determined to stay true to its core values and continue to provide the high-octane action and drama that fans have come to love and expect. The future of WWE may be uncertain, but one thing is clear: this iconic company is not going down without a fight. ## “If you look at what Endeavor was able to take out, cost-wise, from UFC in 2016 or shortly after that deal was done, we have the same expectation here. We think 50 (million) is a really conservative number. We have integration teams now, we’re going to get those in shape, I think we’ll have a better sense of it in a month or two. We’re going to be pretty aggressive with them to make sure that, for our shareholders and for our company, our organization is as lean and mean as possible, and we’re going to rely on the Endeavor flywheel to make up the rest. ## The most important thing is to leave the product untouched. Untouched, meaning, if Triple H and Kevin Dunn want to evolve it, great, but in terms of cutbacks there, that’s not what we’re looking to do.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
