10 Reasons Why WWE's Problems Aren't Going Away
6. Roster Morale Remains Low
In the wake of SaudiGate, per Dave Meltzer, several WWE roster members cannot wait to leave the company outright.
If the very words "per Dave Meltzer" trigger a firm "F*ck off," look at the social media accounts of various WWE personnel. The meme calls him 'Papa H', but Triple H's latchkey kids appear to feel deserted. This could all be an extension of Scott Dawson's ongoing crusade to work AEW fans into meltdown, but he was stuck on that plane. Earlier this year, he requested his release, poetically enough, in full gear. He seems mightily pissed off, or joyously apathetic, is freely interacting with Cody on Twitter, and is generally bantering off everything tangentially related to WWE. He wears one of its title belts, too, which should prove how little pushes matter in 2019, much less promises of them.
Buddy Murphy is sending daily coded "F*ck this" statements. Harper is, too - literally. Mike Kanellis has twice requested his release in the public sphere.
Casey Michael, the reputable source behind Squared Circle Sirens, tweeted last week that much of the NXT roster is unhappy over broken promises and a lack of TV time. Independent standout David Starr claims that at least one NXT act is angry that the promised pay rise has not materialised following the brand's move to cable television.
Of far deeper significance is the sad case of Jordan Myles who, appalled by the incredibly racist t-shirt design WWE lumbered him with, has threatened to extend his far more serious crusade against WWE's institutional racism.
WWE's spiteful recruitment spree is both reaching its inevitable end, and smearing the brochure in sh*t. WWE cannot resolve any of it, either.
There are too many talents, and not enough TV time.
