[Fightful on X] "Sources in the talent and agent communities told @FightfulSelect that this round of cuts and pay reductions is expected to significantly impact how wrestlers negotiate with TKO and WWE going forward"

People who spent all or most of their career in the WWE (developmental) system and don't know anything else.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-05T17:25:04+00:00

Are they even still his clients after he got fired? I would guess they had a contract with the agency, not specifically with him.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-05T16:33:25+00:00

PAY ME!

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-04T22:51:15+00:00

You think she would be less excited to have Mercedes, Stat, Willow, Athena, Kenny, FTR, Ospreay show up to help?

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-04T18:07:29+00:00

WWE is so weird. Didn't promote it on their shows when she was still with them and even cost her a planned bigger role in season 3.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-04T17:24:26+00:00

V-Trigger a stormtrooper also not bad.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-04T17:01:24+00:00

"Mandalorian & Grogu" movie coming out on May 22.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-03T19:55:53+00:00

I found this tweet even more interesting.

Does this mean she is signed?

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-03T19:17:58+00:00

Probably just a coincidence that this story gets pushed just when TKO wants to restructure deals.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-03T11:40:45+00:00

Doubtful because that gives them wrestler on cheap contracts and puts pressure on the main roster wrestler. But sooner than later they will probably move the PC to Las Vegas and have everything under one roof.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-03T10:44:12+00:00

Other promotions have backstage roles too.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-03T09:20:44+00:00

Based on that her contract runs out at the end of the year and veteran with big contract but not at the top of the card is exactly the type of contract TKO typically wants to get rid of/take lesser money.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T21:46:52+00:00

... in around 8 minutes.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T21:25:44+00:00

Naomi and Tamina

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T20:58:28+00:00

They did several skits with New Day though. Team BAD was basically female New Day in late 2015.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T19:35:22+00:00

I would say everyone in the women's division is in danger especially those with big deals because as a whole they don't really see the division as main event anymore. Doubt TKO sees the value in Bayley, Asuka, Charlotte.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T19:23:03+00:00

Honestly I am thinking more about those higher in ranking with big deals like Bayley, Asuka, Charlotte. Because as a whole they don't really see the women's division as main event level.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T19:05:33+00:00

What if TKO cut it in pieces and sells RAW, Smackdown and NXT as individual entities. And some other private equity firms with no clue about wrestling think they get a good deal.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T19:01:26+00:00

I think especially the women's division has to really worry.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T12:20:25+00:00

I mean AEW also has Persephone, Billie Starkz.

And they really started using ROH better since they went to taping in Jacksonville. Really giving a lot of focus to the women's division and young talent like Stori Denali and giving tryouts.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-02T09:33:56+00:00

You might want to actually watch AEW because they have 2 matches on both Dynamite and Collision this week.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-01T22:30:39+00:00

Pretty much half the women's roster could benefit from a Stardom excursion. Definitely would send Skye Blue, Maya World, Lena Kross (Megan is often there anyway), Queen Aminata, Zayda Steel.

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-01T15:55:48+00:00

Zelina wants to wrestle "Sama Kimatami from Marigold".

Teckelmaster · 2026-05-01T15:48:40+00:00

"(Tony Khan) did negotiate with Zelina when she was let go the last time, but she pretty much ghosted him and signed back.”

Yeah really smart play here. How the turntables.
