ORIGINAL: It looks like WWE Superstars aren’t the only people getting cut today by WWE. PWInsider reports that four producers for the company, former WWE Superstars Shane Shelms, Mike Rotunda (aka IRS), Dave Finlay (aka Fit Finlay), and Lance Storm have all been let go as part of today’s WWE cutbacks.

Per the report, it’s likely additional names are going to be let go backstage later today. As noted, a number of wrestlers were let go from the roster earlier today, including Eric Young, Drake Maverick, EC3, and Lio Rush.
