WWE Forces 50% Pay Cuts on Top Superstars

Published May 6, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

WWE has reportedly told Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to slash their contracts by up to 50% or be released, following last week’s mass wrestler releases.

WWE’s post‑WrestleMania roster shake‑up saw the company release over 20 wrestlers and issue ultimatums to top stars, demanding a 50% pay cut or termination. Both Kingston and Woods opted to depart rather than accept the new terms. Veteran reporter Dave Meltzer reports some talent complied, signing reduced contracts amid leadership pay surges, with executives like Ari Emanuel and Nick Khan earning multi‑million increases. ipl-today.in
