Apparently there was an angle where Ali won a title shot but it was given to Dragon Lee or something and told people he was going to do something on Raw to protest? So I guess something changed quick.

He had won a title shot for No Mercy. I didn't see what they did on this last NXT but yeah, my guess is they thought maybe this would keep him around but it didn't. I'm glad he's out since they wasted him and hope he goes somewhere and gets a good push.

You think NXT and main roster creative coordinate anything?

Also anyone on a main roster deal who is hanging out at NXT are prime targets for cost cutting

The funniest part is that this is probably pretty accurate, some WME beancounter going down the payrolls and saying "Who is this person that has a talent contract and hasn't been on television in...well now this can't be right."

Based on how the cuts went around the pandemic, I've kind of had this gut feeling that one or both of KO/Sami could be on the block if they have to cut significant costs. Fairly recent new contracts, absurd amounts from what we've heard, Sami kind of feels like he's peaked in WWE in terms of overness. And if you're looking at the high salary guys, I feel like Vince would have the least attachment to them. They feel right in the Braun/Bray surprise cut wheelhouse.

Between that and the lede being buried that Raw's not staying, and also in addition to the offscreen cuts having happened last week onscreen cuts are rumored/likely soon, they're not liking what they're hearing post-merger

They’re probably just upset it was only a 40 percent increase. The whole point of the merger was to get massive tv deals and this is kind of a whimper.

I don’t know what you mean about cuts. The stock would probably go up with cuts right.

At least the second. They tried to do some repackage of her and he real life boyfriend Riddick Moss but it sucked and she disappeared again.

Makes me worried for Gargano (unless he lands in his feet in AEW)
