WWE has reportedly offered a 50% pay cut to several wrestlers, leading to the departures of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. The move follows a wave of releases and is seen as a cost‑cutting strategy amid soaring executive salaries.

In a surprising shift, WWE reportedly demanded some talent accept up to a 50% pay cut or be released, prompting high‑profile exits from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. The policy coincides with a mass release of over 20 wrestlers and follows a period of significant salary increases for top executives such as Ari Emanuel, Mark Shapiro and Nick Khan. amunra.help
