Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) WWE Still Planning To Push Two RAW Stars
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is still planning to push Bianca Belair and Peyton Royce.
Both Bianca and Peyton are two names who Vince McMahon still wants to push as singles stars on RAW.
My Take:
- As big fans of both Bianca and Peyton, I hope that this is true. I would like to see both of them receive PPV matches against Asuka in the upcoming months.
4) The Latest On Contracts For NXT Call-Ups
According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, many of the new call-ups from NXT are waiting on new contracts from WWE. Sapp says that these call-ups have been told that they will be talking about their new deals soon.
The money that they are being offered is said to be much lower than what was being offered last year:
We’d reported recently that many of the new NXT call-ups were not given new contracts as they were brought up to Raw and Smackdown. There have been several call-ups in recent weeks that we’ve heard of that were told that they’d be discussing new deals soon. WWE’s rationale was that travel and schedule was already significantly reduced, and with cutbacks happening, there was no reason to offer new deals.
The money associated with these contracts is way, way below what wrestlers were being offered last year.
My Take:
- It sounds like the guys and girls who signed before the pandemic got lucky. Timing is everything I guess.
