Triple H is currently the COO of WWE and he is also a veteran in the world of professional wrestling, having competed in several great matches and countless memorable moments during his time as an active in-ring competitor in the company. Roman Reign’s bold message to Vince McMahon was also leaked previously.
WWE have released Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Lana, Ruby Riott, Santana Garrett, and Buddy Murphy. The reason cited was part of budget cuts, and Strowman was being paid $1.2 million per year according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The former WWE Universal Champion signed a new contract in October 2019, so the budget cut regarding Strowman is the WWE’s biggest saving financially from all of the talent cuts in the last year plus during the pandemic.
After that, they also released Bray Wyatt, which led many fans to wonder if WWE will be sold eventually. WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently spoke on his Grilling JR podcast, where he talked about how WWE would be sold.
Well, I think Vince is going to do this till he can’t physically do it anymore. Vince is a great businessman, but if the right offer came along, that would make sure some of his key players are still taken care of, like Hunter (Triple H) and Stephanie (McMahon), I don’t have any doubt in my mind that he wouldn’t sell because it will be a billion-dollar plus deal. That would set up his grandchildren and his grandchildren’s grandchildren. So, he’s a smart businessman in other words. But I don’t think that in his lifetime he would be interested in selling, but I think he would be interested in putting the structure in place to sell.”
