3) The Bella Twins Returning?
On their Youtube channel, The Bella Twins teased a return to WWE. Here is what Brie Bella had to say about a potential return (h/t to Fightful for the quotes below):
“We do really want to make a return. The timeline of it — we don’t know when.
A couple of mistakes I did with Birdie on a couple of my comebacks is Birdie was so little — you’re sleep deprived, you’re trying to train, you’re trying to be a mom, so it can be really hard. I’d like to wait until the boys are like two years old, or something like that. I see us making a comeback in a couple of years, or maybe it’s next year, I don’t know, but it’s not next month!”
Here is what Nikki Bella said about a potential return:
“It would have to be our main focus because even when we came back for Evolution, we were running three companies, we were filming a reality TV show, we had so much on our plate — Brie had Birdie — and we just said the comeback didn’t get its full attention from us that we wanted it to have. So, we’re gonna make sure on that, too.”
My Take:
- I wouldn’t mind seeing The Bellas back in the women’s tag team division. Maybe it could help get some more eyeballs on the division.
2) Contract Details For New Evolve Signings
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has provided some details on what the WWE contracts look like for new Evolve talents who have recently signed.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
We’ve learned about the deals that several of the incoming or recent WWE signings are on. The initial deals are worth $60,000 downside guarantees, with added $500 bonuses with each episode of television that they end up on. We’re told that some of the original short-term agreements jump up to $80,000-$85,000 in January, and the bonuses will increase significantly, possibly even tripling for television appearances.
Several within WWE were happy that WWE had moved to shorter-term agreements to help the company avoid stockpiling and hoarding talent without using them as we’ve seen them do in the past.
My Take:
- I am always fascinated to read contract details of WWE Superstars. This number is actually higher than I assumed.
