If you were to collectively compare the legends contracts to the active roster contracts which would be higher at this point

Active, and it's not even close. As far as I'm aware, legends contracts are pay per appearance and they can make merch of you that you get some cut of, and can say you're a WWE Legend when you go do indie appearances or whatever, and *maybe* a token stipend, but it's nothing compared to even a bottom card performer.

Heidi rules and I'll follow her no matter where she goes. She got shafted big time.

Tommy End too but that goes without saying.

I was slamming beers with her at wm new york weekend with her, her bf at the the time (who i think is a wrestler), Karrion Kross, Scarlett and Martina.

Can confirm, she was funny and ruled and down to earth even being a signed name at an indy show.

Most of my people who have known her for years confirmed her awesomeness. She'll be fine.

Yeah, she won the first Fest Wrestling title and was on the shuttle bus to the airport just fuckin chilling with people. I hope she goes to AEW but I know she’ll be fine wherever she goes.

Ah ok, I thought they were just getting paid to never be available to sign somewhere else, thanks for the clarification

Of that list of releases... hope Ruby and Aleister Black go to AEW. I really hope that Lana doesn't join Miro, because he's doing his own thing pretty well on his own.

And loving LMAO if Zelina signed with WWE again only to fire her husband soon after.

I could totally see Braun agreeing to a new contract with a lower downside.

They probably would have just renegotiated instead of cutting him completely if they wanted him enough to do this.

If Vince would have sided with Shane instead of HHH and Stephanie where would we be today?

quote:

Aleister Black's release is a puzzling one within WWE. While Thea Trinidad, aka Zelina was back at the WWE Performance Center recently, Fightful has not heard of any specific plans for her. We've not heard that an official contract has been signed, or that she was factored in to WWE creative plans for Black. Aleister Black was brought back to TV to kick off a feud with Big E, which we're told had no long-term endgame, and many of those associated with putting together the story didn't even know that he was being released. Recently, creative was told to stop making pitches for Black, but weren't told why.
