A couple of reports have surfaced that WWE had asked some of its talents to take a pay cut.
First, per PWInsider:
A ‘pretty majorly pushed’ WWE talent was asked to take a 50% pay cut, and allegedly did
“I’m not naming the talent because I have no way, yet, to confirm this was the case, but the timing of that claim and what happened the very next day [Kofi and Woods’ departures] was very, very interesting, to say the least.
As always, until fully confirmed, take that for what it is, but the timing, especially coming out of WrestleMania season, is notable.”
Of course at this time there isn’t confirmation on if this talent or any others are from the women’s locker room.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful confirmed the report saying, “A number of people were asked to take pay cuts.”
