But more NXT cuts and cuts to other onscreen talent have happened, but they're not going public with it and it's up to the talents to break the news themselves if they wanted to. Also means that even though NXT keeps getting spun as being "main roster" since they're on TV, they're not.

Seems the bulk of the unannounced cuts were not releases and instead just talent furloughed for the time being. Knowing WWE, those contracts likely got froze so any time missed is just getting added back at the end like with injury time.

There have been a lot more on camera talent furloughed that will come out if they so choose

Money-wise, the amount being saved monthly from these talent cuts is tiny compared to other expenses they had going on.

The talent cuts will save them about $703,000 per month, $4 million includes all expenses cut including expenses of moving into a new office. https://t.co/5AD9Eie1mc

Also both the Wrestling Observer and Post Wrestling speculating something really did go down recently with FOX and USA regarding WWE's tv deals that sent Vince into this panic mode. Meltzer mentioned on Twitter that its been something gaining traction from sources close to the situation.
