Released WWE Wrestlers Offered Hefty Payoffs On Departure?
Some of last night's WWE cuts may have been mutually agreed.
There is talk that some of last night's mass WWE cuts may have come by mutual agreement, with the men and women in question scoring considerable payoffs on their way out the door.
Voice of Wrestling, who generally don't drop information like this without being 100% sure of the source, tweeted the following last night:-
This came following a similar report from Sportskeeda/DailyDDT's Tom Colohue:-
This news will likely be of little consequences to the likes of Drake Maverick, who, given his heartbreaking response to the news, seemingly wasn't given one of the offers described above.
Regardless, leaving with a sizeable pay package may hopefully act as something of a silver lining for many of those affected. This is an unprecedented time. The economic situation is horrendous: these performers have just left the most financially stable promotion in the world, so the chances of a smaller company taking them on while revenues are down is greatly reduced. Some of these people are unfortunately in for a few long, hard months, so here's hoping whatever they left with helps them get through this.
Still a horrible position to be in, though. No human should be made to go through this.
