WWE News: Roman Reigns’ TKO Contract Under Risk, Insider Drops Big Hint
A recent rumour surrounding Roman Reigns, one of WWE’s top stars, has been making waves in the wrestling world. According to former WWE commentator Hugo Savinovich, Reigns’ contract situation under TKO is uncertain, with the company allegedly planning to renegotiate his deal. This news comes as WWE, now under TKO’s leadership, is undergoing significant changes to its roster, including the reported decision not to renew the contracts of R-Truth, Valhalla, and Carlito.
As reported by Hindustan Times, Savinovich discussed the speculation about Reigns’ $15 million annual earnings on Lucha Libre Online. He believes that while WWE won’t release Reigns, they may reduce his pay. "While they won’t outright release him, he won’t be making $15 million per year anymore," Savinovich said. He explained that Reigns’ base salary is $5 million, but his total earnings come from various add-ons, including pay-per-views, video game deals, promotional appearances, merchandise royalties, and special bonuses.
Savinovich revealed that he heard TKO wants to renegotiate Reigns’ contract, citing the company’s efforts to cut costs across the board. "TKO is saying: Roman’s not around full-time. Why are we paying him so much? So, they want to renegotiate," he said. This news raises questions about Reigns’ future with WWE, particularly given his part-time schedule. As Hindustan Times previously reported, Reigns is one of WWE’s highest-paid performers.
On RAW this week, Seth Rollins told fans that Roman Reigns won’t be back anytime soon, effectively writing him off TV for now. Rollins, with the help of Bron Breakker, took out Reigns and secured a spot in the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match. This development has sparked speculation about Reigns’ potential return and whether he will seek revenge against Rollins.
While there is no official confirmation on Reigns’ contract situation, fans should be cautious when considering this rumour. However, according to Hindustan Times, Savinovich’s comments suggest that WWE is looking to make changes to Reigns’ deal. The company’s efforts to reduce costs and Reigns’ part-time schedule may lead to a renegotiation of his contract.
The news about Reigns’ contract situation comes as WWE prepares for its Money in the Bank event this weekend. Fans will be watching closely to see if Reigns makes a surprise return and seeks revenge against Rollins. As Hindustan Times reports, the event promises to be an exciting one, with Rollins looking to solidify his position on RAW.
In conclusion, Roman Reigns’ contract situation under TKO is uncertain, with the company allegedly planning to renegotiate his deal. As reported by Hindustan Times, Savinovich’s comments suggest that WWE is looking to make changes to Reigns’ contract, potentially reducing his pay. Fans will be eagerly watching the Money in the Bank event this weekend to see if Reigns makes a surprise return and what the future holds for the WWE superstar.
