#3. Billy Kidman returned to work for WWE on SmackDown

WWE is gradually getting a handful of the furloughed employees back to work and the latest name to have returned is Billy Kidman.

The former WCW Star resumed working for WWE as a producer on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Kidman was one of the many WWE employees that were furloughed by the company in April.

PWInsider broke the story about Kidman by posting the following:

Long-time WWE Producer Billy Kidman officially returned to work at today's Friday Night Smackdown taping, PWInsider.com has confirmed. Kidman had been furloughed this past April as part of the company's cost-cutting efforts but returned to his duties as of this week.

Billy Kidman, who wrestled for WCW, WWE and various indie promotions, returned to Vince McMahon's company in 2007 as a trainer and performer. He took up the full-time role as a WWE producer in 2010 and has since been an active member of the team behind the scenes.

Kidman has also made a few on-screen appearances in the past decade, primarily to break up brawls or to stop a Superstar from carrying out a storyline attack.
