WWE Chairman Vince McMahon recently released several WWE stars as part of their budget cuts. The former member of Imperium, Alexander Wolfe was one of the stars who got relieved of his duties.
He noted how his situation was a bit different, because he wasn’t technically released. He said that his contract was expiring soon and he did not sign a new deal.

Vince McMahon was kind to Alexander Wolfe
Wolfe recently spoke to Inside The Ropes, and explained that had WWE paid for his flight home to Germany. They also provided him with different compensation due to his unique situation. He explained:
“WWE didn’t release me but it was not my choice. It wasn’t my choice. If I had the choice, I probably would stay with WWE because it’s the biggest company and again, it’s very comfortable to work for them because you make a lot of money with doing nothing. I still went to the Performance Center and used the facility as a tool for life for my own, like, brand. But yeah, WWE told me, “Hey, we will not release you but your contract is up on June 15th, so we will let you run out the contract and then, on June 16th, you’re off to go,” which I really appreciate because I kind of got the 30 day complete a no compete clause, but not really. So they give me the heads up four weeks ahead.”
He added:
“I have a lot of work to do now just to get rid of all the household and then just move back to Germany. Yeah, it’s OK. But like, fair enough. I have to say, even if a lot of people just spitting venom right now and say, “Yeah, F*ck WWE,” and everything, so they always take care of the talents and they are even fair enough because I will go back to Germany because I need to because of visa reason, they paid for my flight back. They are very kind in communicating with me just, for example, because of moving reasons, I ask them to pay me out completely out of the contract – that I not get still the weekly salary and they are cool with that. They even asked me if I want to have it. So you can be negative about as much as you want but even me being pissed off about the reason they let me go, I have to say fair play to them because they always took care of me, they always been very kind and very professional.”
We will have to see what future holds of the former Imperium member.
