Sources told https://fightfulselect.com/ that on the day of the mass releases, WWE approached numerous talent and asked them to take pay cuts in order to remain with the company. Several of them that we heard about were given two days to make that decision.
So it wasn’t just New Day.
I mean, d’uh… where else the money going to come from to cover those exec pay packages?
Clearly they’re the stars of the show, and the sole reason why WWE is as successful as it is.
Those pesky “wrestlers” should know their place and just be grateful to be able to perform in front of such a massive audience. Some on the board are even suggesting that the wrestlers should actually pay for the privilege to perform on the stage they, the board, single-handedly built with their bare (well manicured) hands.
