WWE signs multi-year deal with IGT (WWE)
Here is the rumor roundup for February 4, 2022, including All-time low morale in WWE, Brock/Shane changes, Ali contract and more
These are all the latest rumor roundup in pro-wrestling, which are currently afloat. So let’s have a look at the rumor roundup from WWE.
According to Fightful, WWE will hit all-time low morale following Royal Rumble 2022. It has been said that there are several “discouraged and disappointed” wrestlers on the roster.
Morale is entirely down across the board, from main-eventers to newcomers and people who rarely make television. How Royal Rumble was put together, and WWE’s inability to focus on most of the talent involved were the leading causes for complaints and lack of memorable moments.
There has been a lot of frustration with WWE’s current direction, and one person even said that it feels like nothing matters outside of a handful of wrestlers.
A WWE wrestler even commented that nothing matters outside of “maybe” four people in the company while more than a dozen mentioned continuity issues.
As reported by Fightful Select that locker room morale in WWE is in the lowest phase. Several wrestlers feel like they are “less heard” and feel like they don’t have a voice in the company.
They are reduced to making pleas on social media to bring attention towards them. It has been said that their attempts to speak with Vince McMahon are either ignored or addressed hastily, ignored or end up working against them.
One of the talents said that the WWE locker room is in the same boat.
“If you see a complaint with merit and in good faith about something that lacks sense, logic or continuity, I almost guarantee we have complained too. It just never changes anything.”
Several wrestlers even believe that the company will eventually be sold as this is the only way to rationalize some decisions.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter said that Brock Lesnar and Shane McMahon wanted and were pushing for several changes to the men’s Royal Rumble.
Brock was actually the one who mostly got what he wanted but Shane didn’t get as much which made him complain to several people about it.
It was really unprofessional and mostly because there was a lot of heat on him following the Royal Rumble.
Mustafa recently requested his release to WWE, which was denied by the company.
It was reported by Fightful that WWE told Ali’s request has been denied at least for now, and the word “value was mentioned in their discussions.
Fightful has reported that Ali has “well over a year, at least” left on his WWE contract. However, the exact date of expiration is still not known.
He again requested his release from the contract before Royal Rumble on Twitter, but WWE got no response.
Santino Marella recently spoke on the Stories with Bradshaw & Brisco that his daughter has recently signed with WWE and will soon be reporting to the Performance Center.
“My daughter is starting at the PC in two weeks. She got hired. She’s a beast, man. She’s going to be an absolute top-tier player. She was identified from a young child. You know, she won her school speeches, and she was Ms Teen Ontario, she’s a television personality, and she’s tall, and she’s strong.” (H/t Wresling Inc)
