contracts WWE As in 2021, whether because of dozens of layoffs the company has made, or because of fighters who renewed or left without renewing their relationship.
In the latest version of wrestling Observer newsletter, Dave Meltzer He explained that someone inside WWE told him that the company was “cheating” fighters about the length of contracts they signed.
Without revealing the person’s identity, the journalist clarified that he is an important person in WWE and that he assured him of it. Kevin Owens will receive 2-3 million dollars annually, which is a usual value of the center in Card That “Prizefighter” occupies it, but the value is “Trap”.
Dave Meltzer wrote that wrestlers were “blinded” by the annual fees that WWE offers, not realizing that they were signing a “90-day” contract that WWE “renewed” daily and not a real three-year contract.
for example Bray White, who wanted to earn $3 million annually for three years, offered WWE a five-year contract, which the fighter refused, later agreeing to a four-year contract. In the end, none of that mattered, as the former WWE Champion was eventually fired, received no compensation and had to wait 90 days (paid) before he could continue his career.
Finally, it was made clear that the more WWE pays a fighter, the easier it will be to fire him for the cost that this entails, and in the end, fighters only have “90 day” contracts and a few other things.
Do you think WWE really cheats fighters with their contracts?
