They don't have "fired wwe wrestler" in front of their names..The only way being let go by WWE is bad is if it's for drugs/sex reasons..All these people were just, basically, laid off..And I already said that not everyone will be better off or make more money than nobodies in AEW..But the wrestlers that have even a mediocre level of name recognition will be making more money than the lower card wrestlers in AEW..Being a former wrestler for the biggest wrestling company in history is still a draw..Of course they won't be making what they were under WWE, but they'll be making some good money if they wan to..Nah, they're not automatically going to make a lot of money at those conventions because they have "fired wwe wrestler" in front of their name. No one gives a damn about nia jax unless it's for snu snu. Thought you were gonna say they're getting some kind of severance pay for 12 months. Before you guys were saying it's ok to waste prime, healthy years chilling in wwe catering not doing anything and being miserable because wwe pays well. Now getting fired by wwe is aight because they can make a few bucks at appearances but those depend on popularity and a lot released are unknown.
