1) Two WWE Stars Asked For Their Releases
Over the past few days, a rumor has been making the rounds about the future of The Revival. According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder recently asked for their releases from WWE.
Here is what he had to say:
“Last week, The Revival asked for their release again. They were not given their release. They desperately want out.”
Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net is claiming that The Revival recently turned down $700k per year (each):
In an exclusive update, I can confirm Alvarez’s report that The Revival did ask for their releases from the company. I can also report that The Revival were offered another huge deal, which was said to be higher than the $700k per year that The Club were given, which The Revival again turned down. I was told that the two are “just ready to go.”
While only a few of WWE’s offers to The Revival have been reported on, it was told to me by a source close to the situation that there has been “quite a few now,” and that there has been a lot of back and forth between both sides.
Scott Dawson seemingly acknowledged the rumors on Twitter, saying:
My Take:
- I am still not convinced that The Revival is going to leave WWE. I see this is a smart play by them to try and make some bigger money from the company. If they do leave, AEW would be a natural fit for them. A feud between them and The Young Bucks would be great.
