A fourth WWE release from Thursday has come to light.

WWE staff writer Anthony Benigno took to social media on Thursday to announce his departure from the company after nearly a decade of employment.

Benigno revealed via a statement posted on his official Twitter feed (@itsmeitstonyb) that Thursday marked his final day with the company after starting with the promotion in 2011 as an article writer on WWE.com, as well as the eventual host and producer of the WWE digital series, “WWE Head To Head,” which aired regularly on the company’s official YouTube channel.

Anthony Benigno’s official staff profile page on WWE.com includes the following bio:

Anthony Benigno

Staff Writer Born in New York, raised in New Jersey. Graduate of NYU’s Arthur L. Carter School of Journalism (seriously), so if you read something here that was a little fancy it was probably Anthony. Writes long and shortform features as well as recaps for Raw, Total Divas and Total Bellas, as well as most pay-per-view match recaps. Co-writer, host and producer of “WWE Head to Head” on YouTube. Name’s pronounced Ben-Een-Yo. Two truths and a lie: He tried out for Tough Enough, he was in The Authority for a night, and a Superstar once called him a mean name on the radio.

His official Linkedin page includes this bio detailing his credits as a WWE employee:
