[Dave Meltzer/F4W Daily Update] John Cena Classic still a "work in progress"

>Regarding the details of the John Cena Invitational, we were just told today that this is a work in progress. They wanted to make the announcement but as far as what it is, that is not decided so any speculation of tournament vs. individual matches or how the champions will be set up is just speculation.

[WWE Backlash Spoilers] [WOR] Update on status of wrestler after WWE Backlash

Transcription courtesy of WrestlePurists on X:

>The story I heard is that she (Asuka) is 'semi-retired.' I haven’t really gotten an exact meaning of what 'semi-retired' means. But I guess, people were wishing her goodbye and things like that backstage so… I don’t know if that means she’s going to Japan and still wrestle, I don’t know if that means she’ll do stuff here and there. But I was told 'semi-retired.'

Bryan says they're not going after the top card/main eventers like Roman Reigns, etc. They're not going after the low-mid carders either because they probably don't make that much money to make a difference.

He also says he heard of at least half a dozen names who were approached and two of them took the paycut, two of them left (The New Day), and the others probably took it as well because they haven't been released yet.

>Sources in the talent and agent communities told u/FightfulSelect that this round of cuts and pay reductions is expected to significantly impact how wrestlers negotiate with TKO and WWE going forward, with little confidence that major long-term deals will be honored for their full duration.

>Regarding the story by Mike Johnson which noted a star performer who was asked to and agreed to take a 50 percent pay cut, I can’t say more than that is believed to be the case and the person is not a tippy top person. There have been recent raises and there have been people asked to take cuts. I think it’s very clear who they see as the top people and none of them have been asked to take a cut.
