List of WWE personnel
Wikimedia list article
WWE is an American entertainment company and professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut. It is owned and operated by TKO Group Holdings, itself a majority owned subsidiary of Endeavor Group Holdings. WWE personnel consists of professional wrestlers, managers, play-by-play and color commentators, ring announcers, interviewers, referees, trainers, producers, script writers, and various other positions. Executives and board members are also listed.
Overview
As of 2024, WWE employs over 800 full-time employees as part of its business operations, spread across its three segments: Media, Live Events, and Consumer Products. In addition, they contract with various other vendors and service providers. As part of its Live Events segment, WWE signs performers known as professional wrestlers; these performers are described by the company as "independent contractors", with contracts for performers typically ranging from short developmental to multi-year deals.
Brands
Since the reintroduction of the WWE brand extension in 2016, performers are assigned to one of two primary "main roster" brands: Raw and SmackDown. A third brand, NXT, had originally been designated as a developmental brand for the main roster. In 2019, it was elevated to the third main roster brand.
