Kofi still has Cameo pinned on Twitter and Xavier is still promoting himself for G4TV. I suspect they leave before giving this up.

AJ probably told Vince "You don't want none" and Vince got so mad, steam shot out of his ears like Wile E. Coyote.

I think if anyone can stand up to Vince it's them. AEW would be fools to not take them, they have all the leverage and they've made it clear they're in it together. They most likely have enough funds to wage a legal battle and win, Brock already proved it could be done.

I feel like pissing off Paige is just not a good idea. Granted, I'm not a billionaire. I'm pretty close, but maybe the thing keeping me from getting over the hump is this mindset. It just seems like a bad idea to piss off someone who suffered a career ending injury and is very likely to speak their mind.

Yep, and I wouldn't be surprised if they took their podcast producer with them if they leave. Though Dan already said he should be okay on the third party ban thing.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
WWE isn't in this to win, they're in it to drain people's bank account and make them completely miserable the entire process. So it would take say, a union of currently employeed wrestlers to get things to change :thunk:

I guarantee you none of them have enough money for a prolonged legal battle with the WWE. At least not enough to live comfortably for the rest of their lives afterward.

Paige has over 16,000 subscribers. So at about $2.50 each, she's making around $40k EACH MONTH on Twitch.

She isn't gonna give that up.

I kinda hope that The New Day leaves WWE by making a "final stream" on October 1st.. and the stream runs deep into the next day as Xavier stares dead on to the camera, waiting for the call.

paige has like a legends contract and probably got some fox money for that backstage show and paid for panel appearances, but other than that, yeah.

also of note: Xavier, Breeze, Adam Cole, Cesaro, Dakota Kai already dont use their WWE names for their streams.

It seems like an easier way to build your company's brands would be to just make better content instead of taking away the things three fans actually like. Also maybe stop insulting the fans and intentionally doing things to upset them at every turn.

They can disguise it as WWE wanting a cut of everything their roster does and sure that's a small part of it but in reality the biggest part of this is definitely the 'you'll only make money when we let you' mentality

It's completely about control
