WWE Superstars Face 50% Pay Cuts Amid Corporate Cuts

In the weeks after WrestleMania, WWE cut more than 20 contracts and pushed several high‑profile wrestlers, including Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, to accept pay cuts of up to 50% or face release. Both opted to leave the company rather than take the reduced salaries. Veteran reporter Dave Meltzer reports that some performers complied with the new, lower‑pay contracts, a move critics say mirrors UFC’s cost‑cutting strategy while WWE’s top executives see multi‑million‑dollar salary increases. mieszalniakolorado.pl
