I heard there has been some concern that they may not re-sign. Now, I don’t know when their deal is up but I just heard there is some concern that they might not re-sign. That doesn’t mean they are going to AEW but it means that there is just some concern.

lmao that is the most 90's rear end wrestling "SCOOP SITE" sounding news I've seen in years.

I'm concerned I've heard there may be some concerning news regarding the concern around the Uso's possibly signing or re-signing. Now I don't know what the concern is, I haven't said if they will sign or re-sign, just that I have concern about the concern. Please don't interpret this as me reporting concern regarding the concerning situation of the Uso's contracts, just know that there is some concern.

Why would WWE care about The Usos leaving? They have a million tag teams they don't use. No individual superstar, let alone a tag team, is more over than the brand. Losing The Usos would literally mean nothing to do them in regards to ratings, merch, etc.

Looking forward to every WWE wrestler under contract leaking stories about CONCERN over their deals.

WWE is said to be very concerned about the status of Epico and Primo's contracts, which are ending soon. There is definite concern they are going to AEW, wrestling promotions should be competing over their services and offering big contracts.

AEW is supposed to be really tag team focused and the Usos are one of the best tag teams around (face paint Usos are years in the mirror). I wouldn't want them to leave, either.

They're concerned in that while they don't make money off of the Usos, they know someone else can take the talent and make some money with them. It's monopoly practice and now that AEW is a thing, they're going to be worried that when contracts expire or talent gets unhappy they can now walk out the door for equal or better pay per show with a less hectic work schedule.

Ratings haven't been trending upwards in general in 20 years regardless of who gets pushed. It's not a problem of pushing someone specific, it's that wrestling isn't cool.

It's not good at all, but it's a ratings decline that's within what you would have expected given the SOTU and the fact that the last time they went against the SOTU it was the post Rumble show where the men's title was won by an SDL wrestler.
