WWE continues to streamline its operations following the merger into TKO last year. Recent reports indicate that Beth Fisher, WWE’s Head of Corporate Social Responsibility and a 13-year veteran with the company, has been released. This follows the earlier departures of Senior Vice President of Entertainment Relations Kristen Prouty and Manager of Talent Relations and Appearances Tavia Hartley, as reported by POST Wrestling and Wrestlenomics.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Fisher began her career with WWE in August 2011 as an assistant to the office of the Chairman and CEO. She later advanced to senior manager in the Marketing and Communications department before assuming her role in Corporate Social Responsibility in 2019. In her capacity as Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, Fisher led WWE’s social impact and community engagement initiatives, managed strategic partnerships, oversaw signature programs, and executed global events. She also contributed to the Emerging Leaders Council of Make-A-Wish Connecticut and was dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within WWE.
Just a week before her departure, Fisher celebrated a significant achievement, winning the Corporate Social Responsibility Award for the Community Champions program at the Cablefax “FAXIES” Awards. This prestigious accolade recognized her dedication and impact in promoting social responsibility within the community, highlighting the positive influence WWE strives to exert beyond the ring.
Her success was acknowledged by several WWE colleagues, reflecting the high regard in which she was held within the organization. Senior Vice President of Creative Writing Operations, Christine Lubrano, was among those who praised Fisher and her team for their exceptional work. Lubrano’s commendation underscored the collaborative effort and commitment that went into the Community Champions program, emphasizing the integral role Fisher played in its success.
The acknowledgment from her peers and superiors not only celebrated Fisher’s individual achievements but also showcased WWE’s broader commitment to corporate social responsibility. Fisher’s award and the subsequent praise from Lubrano and others within WWE highlighted the organization’s efforts to positively impact communities and demonstrated the value they place on leadership and innovation in their social initiatives.
The recent layoffs have raised concerns about potential further cuts within WWE’s talent roster. So far, no additional releases have been confirmed, and WWE has not responded to inquiries about the possibility of more departures. The last major round of roster cuts occurred during the WWE Draft in April, which saw the release of former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, along with wrestlers like Xia Li and Cameron Grimes who had been transitioning between “WWE NXT” and the main roster.
