Multiple Released Star's WWE Contract Details Revealed
It looks like some stars still had quite a few years left on their deals.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fighful.com last night reported on Twitter that Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and Mike and Maria Kanellis' deals with the company all ran until mid-2024 before their sudden releases earlier this week.
On Wednesday April 15 2020, Vince McMahon announced in a conference call that the company would be making cuts due to the current global situation. Then, just a few hours later, a gluttony of on-screen and behind-the-scenes talent were quickly released or furloughed from the company. It was also reported that some of these employees may have been informed of their futures via text message.
This new information, detailing just how much time some stars had remaining on their contracts before this shocking turn of events, comes after reports recently surfaced about WWE apparently offering 'hefty payoffs' to certain released performers, according to Voice of Wrestling on Twitter.
Could this mean that the likes of Gallows and Anderson and Mike and Maria Kanellis were offered a decent amount of money on their way out of the company?
