3) When The Contracts Of The Revival Will Expire
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Revival asked for their releases from WWE this week.
Meltzer says that their WWE contracts are expected to expire in April:
The Revival asked for their release again this past week. WWE greatly increased their offer for a new five-year deal and after getting the offer, they turned it down and asked for their release. At this point, they haven’t been released. Their deals would have expired some months back but they’ve had time tacked on due to each member being out with injuries, but I believe they would be clear around April.
My Take:
- I see WWE making one more big push to re-sign them. I am sure that WWE doesn’t want to see them leave as they would be a great pick-up for AEW.
2) How Much Money The Revival Turned Down
On his podcast, Booker T seemingly confirmed the rumors that The Revival turned down $700,000 (each) from WWE.
Here is what Booker said:
“They turned down 700 thousand apiece, that’s a lot of money man. If I can give them any advice, I’d say take the money. If they came to me and said ‘Hey Book, we’re going to give you a million dollars a year, you ain’t going to win no titles, we’ll give you TV time, we’ll give you a 15 year contract,’ I’m gonna shut the hell up.”
My Take:
- That is a lot of money to turn down. Still, it is hard to blame them for wanting to get the best deals for themselves.
