WWE's Hiring Freeze: Backstage Details and Fan Reactions.

WWE is reportedly going through a "hiring freeze" and has not hired any main roster talent this year. Sources speculate that Vince McMahon's return and the company's sale to Endeavor Group are reasons behind the freeze. Triple H reportedly wanted to hire Nick Aldis, but like other potential hires, he has been "left out in the cold" since McMahon's return. The firing of Senior Vice President of Talent Operations and Strategy, James Kimball, was also a reason why some on WWE's radar had no contact after the company had shown interest.
