WWE’s investigations have found another $5 million in payments made that they weren’t aware of related to Vince McMahon, payments to two people in 2007 and 2009.
Triple H was made the head of WWE Creative after Vince McMahon retired. He then produced a solid show at SummerSlam 2022. Fans were happy with him as well.
He has also booked massive returns on almost every show, starting with SummerSlam. Vince Russo discussed these comebacks on the latest Legion of RAW episode and asked if the previously released stars were brought back on lesser pay or not.
“Nobody is talking about this because the marks are all caught in ‘oh wow, Iyo Sky and Bayley, oooooh!’ Here’s what is hysterical to me, and I would love to know the answer to this. All the people from NXT that they are bringing back that they let go, right? How much less money are they coming back for? That’s what I would love to know.
Tell me that, bro tell me that because I am telling you, Chris, I think that’s a part of it. I think they let all these people go, and now they are bringing them all back for pennies on the dollar. I am telling you, bro. I want to know if these are people getting paid the same they got when they left.”
