WWE Management Reportedly Pulled Talents Aside Tuesday To Discuss Contracts & Future With Company

Over the last few weeks there have been numerous reports of WWE Superstars being unhappy and requesting their release from the company. Names like The Revival, Mike & Maria Kanellis, Hideo Itami, and even Dean Ambrose have all either asked to be released, are intending to leave, or have been granted their release from the company.

On a recent audio update via PWInsider Elite, Mike Johnson reported that WWE management apparently spoke to talents on Tuesday who’s contracts are expiring over the next year or two about their future with the company.

Johnson said:

“I can say this that after the Dean Ambrose news came out on late Monday early Tuesday there was a buzz of activity backstage at SmackDown as anybody that had a contract coming up in the next years or two was pulled into rooms and spoken to by management about signing longer form deals and all the wrestlers were sitting there looking at each other going, ‘Will you look at this?! This is crazy!’”

“So there definitely was I think the realization that people could potentially leave to go to AEW. You know WWE might have been paying attention to it before and monitoring it as Triple H said, but there was definitely a cause and effect between Dean Ambrose making the decision that he’s leaving and that news coming out and everybody buzzing about it and yesterday at SmackDown people being spoken to about deals.”
