There’s been a lot of talk about WWE contracts recently as it’s been reported that several stars have been asked to take pay cuts and restructure their deals with the company.
Originally Roman Reigns was being advertised for several episodes of WWE Monday Night Raw in June, and talk of Roman’s contract status kicked into high gear on social media after Reigns was pulled from the advertisements.
Despite the change in Roman’s schedule, Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that The Tribal Chief was not asked to renegotiate his contract with WWE.
“The people who they perceive as the key guys, and again, because of all the rumors regarding Roman Reigns and everything, Roman Reigns was not asked to renegotiate. None of the guys at that level, they’re not being asked.
It’s the guys who, I would say, without mentioning any names, were at a higher level before than they are now. I think that’s the best way to put it.”
Recently it was reported that Roman Reigns being pulled from advertisements for the June episodes of Raw was due to a clerical regarding what dates Reigns would be working.
Roman is currently set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu at the Backlash premium live event in Tampa this weekend. Stay tuned for updates.
