There had been some reports circulating suggesting WWE has released Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco. However, the veteran took to Twitter and cleared the rumors stating that he has not been fired.

On the other hand, Brisco, who worked as a talent scout for the company for a number of years, stated that he has been furloughed and not released by the company. This essentially means that while he still has his position with the company, and retains certain benefits, he will not be paid as a regular employee would be.

Here is what Vince McMahon's former 'stooge' had to say:

What a writer made a mistake, to set things right. I have not been let go yet I’ve been placed on furlough don’t know who leaked the wrong news. I hope get back to helping young folks find there dream. If not it been on heck of a run

The company recently released multiple Superstars recently and a number of backstage staff was also released or furloughed due to the budget cuts owing to COVID-19.
