Some fans pointed to executives like Ari Emanuel or WWE President Nick Khan as the important thing figures behind the cuts.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with a report from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, that assumption isn\u2019t accurate. He said,<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cNo one above Levesque is saying who to chop. Possibly [WWE President] Nick Khan, possibly not. Ari Emanuel isn\u2019t sitting there saying we&#8217;ve to fireplace Zelina [Vega] and Kairi. By and enormous the choice maker, for good or for bad, here is Paul. It\u2019s like in other years where people blamed this person or that person when the choice was 100% Vince [McMahon].\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He continued, <strong><em>\u201cThere\u2019s not a probability TKO is ordering who to chop. It is feasible they\u2019ve got an unofficial salary cap and Levesque because the manager has to maintain the number below that. Almost definitely the salary total could be a Khan decision, and so far as the important thing within the personnel decision, that\u2019s Levesque although Khan having input and others having input is probably going. It\u2019s like Vince would seek the advice of with a number of people but at the top, it was Vince\u2019s call, not evil Jim Ross or evil Johnny Ace or evil JJ Dillon.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> If you could have any news suggestions or podcast recaps that you just\u2019d wish to send in for us to post (full credit will likely be given to you), please email me at <span class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"fba9b8979a8990abaca8bba29a939494d5989496\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest details are shedding light on who\u2019s actually behind WWE\u2019s latest round of roster cuts.
