3) The Status Of The Revival After Their Release From WWE
According to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, The Revival is free to sign with any promotion immediately.
The duo does not have a 90-day, no-compete clause, which is typical for WWE releases:
My Take:
- The Revival to AEW seems like a lock to me. I would be surprised to see them go anywhere else at this point.
2) Update On WWE’s Plans For Japan
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the situation (regarding WWE) has now changed in Japan.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, more wrestling promotions are now willing to sell to WWE. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
“Due to the virus, the situation in Japan has changed once again. Before, nobody wanted to sell to WWE and now with most companies in tough financial straits, it’s become a buyers market and it is believed companies that otherwise wouldn’t sell would be willing to do so and WWE could have a local infrastructure and start being a force in that market.”
My Take:
- It definitely sucks for the smaller promotions in Japan. I could see WWE swooping in and locking up a lot of the top talent in the country. It will also be interesting to see if WWE’s plans in Japan end up getting fast-tracked because of this.
