As of May 1st, 2023, all WWE employees will be required to return to the office full-time.
The move comes after the company had previously stated that it would allow a more flexible agreement, where employees split their working hours between work and home.
In a leaked email, via PWInsider, Nick Khan explains the new rules, noting that he believes it will increase productivity and communication.
“We are all fortunate to be three years, one month and fourteen days removed from the moment where stay at home orders were put in place, businesses shuttered (some permanently) and sports seasons canceled. Of course, at WWE and thanks to all of you, we continued to move forward, never missing a week of production in the safest way possible.
As I have had the good fortune of meeting with so many of you over the last few months, it has become apparent to me that our business thrives on creativity and an unparalleled work ethic. All of us physically together is a part of that. As such, we will be going back to what has always been the case prior to COVID, which is a return to five days a week in office.
Nothing replaces our ability to interact with one another as we collectively continue to build and represent our company. We will all connect better and be better.
Monday, May 1, 2023, will be the start of our full time return to office.
For those based in Stamford, our first group has moved to our new HQ and the rest of us will be there shortly. We thank you for your patience with this process. If you have not yet seen it, it is a spectacular work space that we believe you will all be quite proud of.
Thank you for all,
Nick”
Nick Khan Open To More WWE Sponsorship
Speaking in a recent interview, Nick Khan was asked about the prospect of WWE including more sponsorship deals in its on-screen product.
While the company has never been shy about incorporating sponsorship into their product, think the Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match at the Royal Rumble and Cinnamon Toast Crunch’s sponsorship of Dominik vs. Rey Mysterio, more could be on the way.
Khan said that WWE is “open for business” and if something can be sold it will be, but only for the right price.
