1) Recent Contract Offers To Retribution
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), WWE offered each member of Retribution (except Mustafa Ali) the same contract offer.
These offers were 3-year deals at $250,000 per year. Here is what Sapp wrote:
Fightful has learned details on new contract offers to members of Retribution. Several sources with knowledge of the deals say that in the fall of 2020 WWE offered each member of the stable — not including Ali — three year contracts worth $250,000 per year. This is significantly lower than a lot of the incoming deal offers made in the last two years with more competition on the scene, but obviously the state of the world has changed things in that regard.
Some of the call-ups earlier this year were told that they could possibly re-negotiate offers when and if things change, but we weren’t told if Retribution were extended the same courtesy, or even if they signed on the dotted line. We have heard of numerous wrestlers in WWE who have opted to pass on renewing their contracts, instead choosing to wait until their leverage is better.
My Take:
- Retribution has been a mess since debuting. I thought that they were going to be booked as a much bigger deal and it didn’t work out like that. I feel bad for everyone involved.
