WWE Talent Reportedly Asked To Take Pay Cuts

Jonathan EscuderoComment

Budget cut season continues at TKO as WWE has reportedly begun asking a number of talent to restructure their current agreed upon deals into something that fits the company’s budget.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider put out a column that made mention of a rumor amongst WWE sources regarding a “majorly pushed" WWE talent who was asked to take a 50% paycut and allegedly agreed.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful followed up with a tweet stating WWE has asked MULTIPLE talents to take pay cuts.

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were granted a release last week after refusing to accept a pay cut from TKO. Will anyone else follow their lead?
