1) Concern Among Some WWE Superstars For After Wrestlemania 36
According to a report from WrestlingNews.co, there is concern among some WWE stars about their futures after Wrestlemania 36.
WWE will be taking a big loss this year from the lack of merchandise and ticket sales from Wrestlemania 36 weekend. As a result, there is some concern among Superstars that there could be releases coming.
Here is an excerpt from the report:
Vince McMahon has offered big contracts to keep wrestlers from going elsewhere but given what is going on in the world, some lower card wrestlers have privately acknowledged that there may be some tough decisions made this year and there is a fear of talent cuts coming at some point.
One wrestler in WWE told me, “I think guys know they can’t depend on AEW as their safety net because they are going through their issues with canceled shows. This will be tough for a lot of guys and for a lot of people in [the wrestling business] overall.”
The feeling is that most of the mid-card wrestlers and the top stars will be fine but some of the wrestlers not used much on shows are worried.
My Take:
- I think that this is definitely going to be the case. I expect some undercard wrestlers to get axed over the next few months. WWE has so many wrestlers on their roster and they can’t keep them all. It will be interesting to see what happens and who gets let go.
