There's no need to speculate what the WWE would have done, because we all know what they did - they fired him during a loving pandemic and left him stranded in the USA, loving him over royally.

Every single person in management at the WWE should literally loving die horribly, the callous shits.

They also refused to help Cesar get a proper visa when he worked there, telling him he didn't need one and he'd be fine. My guess is that they wanted his lack of visa as leverage over him, since they also paid him like poo poo. It's loving gross and I'm glad AEW is treating him right.

Wild. So incredible news is the emergency visa was granted. Unbelievable work there for that to happen. It pays to know people!

The sad news is the COVID piece. But at the very least, it sounds like things will be moving forward and that’s so beautiful to see once that COVID clears up.

Wow.

It's cause they were getting bad PR from all the 'former WWE wrestler dies at 40 of drug-related issues' headlines

What's crazy to me is that after the Benoit tragedy happened and WWE corporate was desperately trying to cover itself, didn't Vince come out and say that what they were doing was literally just for PR purposes and they have no responsibility over whether or not a wrestler gets injured on their watch, because obviously it would be the independent contractor's fault? I'm guessing the press had moved on by then, or at least an old white uber-conservative being incredibly evil and broke-brained wasn't even considered newsworthy any more?

Id be willing to bet more people have died some time after watching an Austin Aries match than have died after getting a covid shot.

Also he had been discouraged from associating with the local Brazilian population so he was completely isolated when it happened.

Why?

I mean it was obviously Cult thinking. Isolate, and encourage complete dependence on the WWE machine.

But what was their stated reason for saying to an immigrant "Don't hang out with people with whom you share a language and a culture, it's bad."

Presumably so they felt even more isolated only being around people they share a second language with, and depending on how good their English is it might be even more isolating.

Yeah, I get that. That's the real reason, but what was the fluffy officially stated PR weasel words reason?

I am wondering what they told him. i.e. "Hey Cesar, don't hang out with, or make friends with people in the Brazillian community where you will feel comfortable, instead only hang out with WWE guys because X. We have your best interests at heart."

What would WWE have told him X was?

IIRC they said the local Brazillian population was full of bad people who would try to swindle Cezar or something like that.
