3) No Backstage Heat On Wesley Blake Or Steve Cutler
There are reports that Jaxson Ryker has a ton of backstage heat in the WWE locker room after his recent pro-Donald Trump Tweet. This has reportedly led to The Forgotten Sons being removed from WWE television.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reports that there is no backstage heat on the other two members of The Forgotten Sons, Wesley Blake, and Steve Cutler:
Based on what we’ve heard, there’s no heat on Wesley Blake or Steve Cutler, but they are catching the backlash from Ryker’s tweet. It’s worth noting that Ryker hasn’t wrestled since the call-up.
Most we’ve talked to on the roster feel bad that Blake and Cutler are being lumped in with Ryker after the time they put in NXT to get called up.
My Take:
- I feel awful for Wesley Blake, who has been in WWE developmental for like a decade. It looked like this was finally his big chance.
2) Vince McMahon’s Net Worth Takes A Big Hit
According to Forbes (via ESPN), Vince McMahon’s net worth has dropped by a lot over the past year.
Vince’s net worth is now $1.9 billion, which is $1 billion less than last year:
According to Forbes magazine, McMahon’s net worth has dropped by $1 billion, from $2.9 billion to $1.9 billion, in the past year.
My Take:
- The XFL going bankrupt and WWE’s ratings drop are likely the culprit of this. He is still filthy rich though, so it is hard to feel too bad for him.
