3) More On Rey Mysterio Working Without A Contract
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Rey Mysterio had asked WWE for a raise after his WWE contract had expired.
Vince ended up refusing because of the current pandemic. This has led to Mysterio working for the company right now without a contract:
What happened was, he was asked for a raise, and Vince had said you know, ‘Look at the situation we’re in, umm, we just got rid of a bunch of people.
My Take:
- I think that Vince and Rey will get a deal done at some point. Still, it is definitely weird to hear of someone working without a contract in WWE.
2) Big Hint On Heath Slater’s Status With WWE
Heath Slater appeared on RAW this week and faced off against Drew McIntyre. Slater was fired by WWE a few months ago but this had fans wondering if he had been re-hired by the company.
It doesn’t appear as if that is the case. In a video posted by WWE after RAW, Heath noted that it was a “nice closing of a chapter” for him, which hints at him being done:
My Take:
- I am sad that WWE isn’t giving Heath a chance. He was always a guy who could make bad gimmicks work and he was always a reliable hand in the ring. I wish him the best but I am sad to see him go.
