According to a report from Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, WWE granted several employees a stock award. Earlier today, numerous employees received a $3,000 stock award. While all employees did not receive the award, “a large number” did. The stock units will vest next month.
The news comes after many corporate employees were told last week that there is a freeze on promotions and raises.
