There has been lots of reports and rumors lately now that All Elite Wrestling has officially launched and began signing some of wrestlings top talents to contracts. It has been said that some WWE talent has or could use AEW as leverage to get more money out of WWE.
On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about Vince McMahon’s mindset regarding WWE potentially losing their Superstars to other wrestling promotions.
Regarding WWE losing their talents to other companies, Meltzer said:
“Ronda was always going to lose at this year’s Mania. It can always change if they talk her into staying like with Brock. You know Brock was going to leave how many times? Then they just offer him way more money. You know, Ronda’s not as about the money as Brock. Brock is a total mercenary, you know? I think that Vince respects Brock in that way. I think now that Vince has so much money now that Brock totally gets this and has used it to his advantage.”
“The whole key on why Brock keeps getting [bigger deals from WWE] is because Vince doesn’t want to be perceived as losing his top guy to UFC. That’s the same reason why we saw the Andrade push that’s why The Revival has the tag team titles. [Vince McMahon] doesn’t want that perception you know, he wants the perception that his guys don’t leave.”
