We’re kicking off with WWE news 
today, as with Superstars being 
classed as independent contractors, 
they have the chance to earn money 
on the side with platforms such as 
Twitch and Cameo, but thanks to 
Vince McMahon, that will no longer 
be happening. 
WWE reportedly held a call with 
talent last Sunday regarding the 
reinvention of the company’s product, 
and it was claimed that WWE owns 
both the character names of 
Superstars, and their real names 
as well. 
As if this wasn’t worrying enough to 
hear, a letter was sent out on 
Thursday saying that Superstars 
have a month to end any third-party 
activities. It reads: 
“Some of you are engaged with 
outside third parties using your name 
and likeness in ways that are 
detrimental to our company,
McMahon wrote. “It is imperative that 
these activities be terminated within 
the next 30 days (by Friday October 2). 
Continued violations will result in 
fines, suspension, or termination at 
WWE’s discretion.”
As an order from Vince McMahon 
himself, Superstars now have 30 days 
to stop streaming, taking cameo 
requests or any other third-party 
deals, which’ll seriously affect their 
earnings. 
Unsurprisingly, Superstars are livid 
about this, as not only will they be 
earning less, but fans can no-longer 
get personalised videos, or hang with 
their favourite wrestlers on Twitch, 
though it’s unclear how this new 
policy will affect product 
endorsements, or those who have 
official businesses out of WWE. 
Fightful reports that many Superstars 
didn’t even know about the change, 
as they only glanced at the letter, 
though those who did read it were 
livid, and shortly after, McMahon sent 
an e-mail out to the roster, saying: 
“Furthering my comments last Sunday 
regarding the reinvention of our 
product, it is imperative that we 
promote and protect our brand in 
every conceivable way. Some of you 
are engaged with outside 3rd parties 
using your name and likeness in 
ways that our detrimental to our 
company. It is imperative that these 
activities be terminated within the 
next 30 days (by Friday October 2). 
Continued violations will result 
in fines, suspension or termination at 
WWE’s discretion. These actions are 
necessary in order to r
ebuild our brand as we enter the next 
phase of growth at WWE. 
I thank you for your cooperation in 
this matter and for all of your efforts 
towards the rejuvenation of WWE. 
Vince.”
Given that this is the same company 
that suspended Titus O’Neil in 2016 
for daring to touch the boss, 
we’re not surprised that Superstars 
will be suspended if they continue to 
earn with third-parties, but that can’t 
make this email any easier to read for 
the Superstars. 
Good Brothers Digital PR recently 
dropped a list of the highest paid 
Superstars and Legends on Cameo, 
with names like  Ric Flair and 
Roman Reigns earning $500 each 
per short video. 
Given that Big E charges far less at 
$125 per video, he is actually WWE’s 
highest Cameo earner, taking home 
$62,509 for his videos, compared 
to the Nature Boy’s $30,005. 
When it comes to legends, Bret Hart’s 
$150 videos have earned him $65,710, 
and we hope you the viewer will spare 
a moment to check out these WWE 
Superstars’ side earnings, 
money they’ll no longer have, and 
you’ll see why they have a right to 
be livid.
The list of those earning on cameo 
will dramatically shorten in 30 days, 
and though they may be seen as 
independent contractors, McMahon 
is not allowing them do take part in 
activities in the name of what he says 
is the company’s image. 
This edict by the Chairman comes 
shortly after AJ Styles revealed a 
positive test during a Twitch stream, 
and Fightful reports that leaking 
sensitive info is WWE’s reason 
for the controversial move. 
It’s not just the Superstars who are 
mad, as Fans were very vocal online, 
leading to Vince’s name trending on 
Twitter with over 25,000 mentions, 
the majority of these blasting the 
Chairman. 
Mick Foley, who has a Cameo profile 
himself, said that taking extra money  
from Superstars was quote “a crummy 
thing to do.” 
Renee Paquette, who just left the 
company, said that it was about 
time she opened a Twitch or Cameo 
though CM Punk to a different 
approach, saying that McMahon’ 
won’t let people do stuff, and said it
might be time for some Retribution, 
teasing that he is leading the RAW 
faction. 
Vince’s actions have even reached 
the political world, as 2020 U.S. 
Presidential Candidate Andrew  
Yang swore to help WWE Superstars, 
saying: 
“If I’m not the Secretary of Labor I’m 
pretty confident I’ll have his or her 
number to talk about the ridiculous 
classification of WWE wrestlers as 
independent contractors while 
controlling their name and likeness 
for years, even for something as 
benign as Cameo.”
“Come on Vince – you’ve already 
deprived the folks breaking their 
backs for you of healthcare, security, 
recovery time, retirement benefits 
and fair treatment re: licenses and 
royalties. At least let them make a 
living off their own names. Many of 
them need it.”
At the end of the day, Superstars 
don’t have to work for WWE, though 
given the current global situation,
they may feel they have no choice, 
and whilst AEW has provided a 
legitimate alternative for disgruntled
Superstars, provided that Cody and 
the Elite are interested, for many 
Superstars, they have no other choice 
but  to tighten their belts come 
October 2nd. 
Over to SmackDown now, and on,
next week’s show, Bray Wyatt’s Firefly 
Fun House will return, and introduce a 
new friend to the funhouse. 
Whilst fans may be guessing who this 
new member is, WWE haven’t exactly 
been subtle, as they next segment 
after this announcement saw Alexa 
Bliss apologise to Nikki Cross for 
smashing her mug, whilst Ramblin’ 
Rabbit watched from afar. 
It seems obvious that Bliss will 
become the newest member of the 
Funhouse, as she’s shown great 
interest in the Fiend in recent weeks, 
and we’ll have to see what this 
means for the former Women’s 
Champion on next week’s show if 
she is indeed the Fiend’s newest 
friend. 
This week’s SmackDown also saw 
a vignette for a debuting Superstar 
air, and though we don’t know who
the vignette was for, it certainly got 
fans talking. 
The vignette saw a single song start 
playing and high heels walk through
purple smoke, as though we don’t 
know who this is, they’re definitely 
female. 
A popular theory is that this is a 
promo for Chelsea Green, 
which is interesting given that she’s 
rumoured to be part of Retribiution, 
and other guesses have suggested 
Carmella, Vanessa Bourne or even 
a debuting Tessa Blanchard. 
Whoever it is, they’ve already caught 
the attention of the WWE Universe, 
and time will tell who exactly is making 
their way through that purple smoke. 
We’ve got some WWE release news 
next, as the company has parted 
ways with former RAW Tag Team 
Champions AOP, effective today. 
The last time fans saw AOP, they 
were two of Seth Rollins’ disciples, 
before an injury for Rezar took them 
both off TV, and now the duo will 
have to deal with a 90-day 
non-compete clause. 
It’s interesting that this release came 
so abruptly, as we previously reported 
that there was a big push planned for 
AOP upon their return, making their 
release even more of a surprise. 
Dave Meltzer noted that the WWE 
and AOP couldn’t agree on two things: 
their pay, and any future storylines 
for the duo, which culminated in 
their release. 
On Twitter, Kevin Owens mentioned
how he loved every second of 
working with AOP, even if they did 
beat him up for months, and wished 
the boys luck, saying that he hopes 
to share a ring again with them one 
day, saying he’s  got receipts waiting 
for them. 
We’ll have to see if Owens gets his 
wish and faces the AOP down the line, 
but for now, fan shouldn’t expect to 
see Akam or Rezar realign with the 
Monday Night Messiah anytime soon.
Back to SmackDown now, as Roman 
Reigns’ first challenger for the 
Universal title was decided, 
and it wasn’t who thanks thought it’d 
be. 
Though Big E was scheduled to 
compete, he was taken out by 
Sheamus earlier in the night, and after 
some influence from Paul Heyman and
Roman Reigns, WWE found a 
replacement: Roman’s cousin, Jey 
Uso. 
As if that wasn’t shocking enough, 
Uso would go on to beat Sheamus, 
King Corbin and Matt Riddle,
who he pinned after a frog-splash, to 
get the win, and a shot at the 
Universal title at Clash of Champions
It’s being reported that Big E was the 
originally-planned winner of the match, 
however news of Big E winning leaked,
and with everybody knowing about it, 
McMahon got upset, and  changed his 
decision to Jey Uso. 
Instead of picking a big name like AJ 
Styles or even Jeff Hardy, Vince 
picked Uso to add shock value to 
the match, and it’s safe to say that the
fans were shocked. 
With that said, having Jey in the match 
fits with Roman’s heel turn, as he’s 
been all about family for his face-run, 
and what better way to cement the 
new darker-side of the Big Dog than 
have hm destroy his cousin on 
September 27th? 
Though this was arguably the biggest 
night of Jey Uso’s career, it came at
Big E’s expect, after he took a 
White-Noise-Drop onto the 
windshield of a car by Sheamus. 
In an update from WWE, it was 
reported that Big E is undergoing tests 
to see how bad the result of the attack 
was, and whilst we know he suffered 
lacerations, fans will have to wait and 
see what is the condition of the New
Days tar. 
Sasha Banks also had a rough night,
as the Golden Role Models finally 
broke up, with Bayley beating up the 
Boss around the ring, leaving her a 
broken mess. 
In an update from WWE.com, Banks 
was taken to a local medical facility, 
and whilst no details were given 
about her condition, we’re sure that 
the former RAW Women’s Champion 
will be looking for revenge on her
so-called best friend. 
Over to AEW now, and after Eddie 
Kingston’s huge debut against then-
TNT Champion Cody Rhodes in July, 
he got a job offer from AEW, but not 
just the All-Elite company. 
Speaking on Talk Is Jericho, Kingston 
said that WWE offered him a job in 
the Performance Center after seeing 
him in AEW, though he turned it down, 
saying that if he was to coach, he’d 
be bitter about coaching in WWE, 
rather than getting a shot on the 
roster. 
Saying that he’d be detrimental to 
the Performance Center recruits, it’s 
commendable that Kingston would 
turn down an opportunity to work for 
the biggest company in the world, 
though he seems more than happy 
now, as part of the AEW roster. 
Back to WWE now, and, fans haven’t 
seen Elias since he was hit by Jeff 
Hardy’s car during the Intercontinental 
title tournament in May, as it was later 
reported that the angle would allow 
Elias to take time off to tend a torn 
pectoral muscle. 
On the night of the accident, Elias 
was meant to face Daniel Bryan, 
after defeating King Corbin in an 
earlier round, and with an injury like 
this, the timeline for his return was 
6-9 months. 
On his YouTube stream, 
Sportskeeda’s Senior Journalist 
Tom Colohue told fans they may not 
see Elias until December or even 
early next year, so for now, 
the former 24/7 Champion will keep 
singing the blues whilst he’s injured. 
We’re looking at wrestling’s hottest 
free-agent next, as it’s believed that 
Brock Lesnar will re-sign with WWE 
in due time, and there’s even plans 
for him once he’s back. 
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, 
Dave Meltzer reported that much like 
Tyson Fury, Lesnar would only 
return for a huge show, such as a 
Saudi-event or WrestleMania, and 
he also noted that a possible rematch 
with Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania is 
being discussed for next year, though 
this match may only happen if McIntyre 
remains WWE Champion. 
This would conflict with rumours of 
Randy Orton defending the gold 
against Edge at next year’s showcase 
of the Immortals, that could nix any 
current Lesnar plans. 
Of course, all plans are subject to 
change given the ongoing global 
situation though they are being 
discussed at the moment, and it’s 
clear that whilst Lesnar isn’t under a 
WWE contract at the moment, 
the company has high-hopes that 
the Beast Incarnate will return when 
the time is right. 
And we’re ending today with news 
regarding Al Snow, as the former 
WWE Superstar is facing claims of 
unprofessional treatment of female 
trainees over the years. 
In a tweet from AEW star Abadon, 
it’s claimed that Snow asked her to 
“be more attractive so we can book 
you,” and added “you are to fat to be 
doing flips… you are not The 
Undertaker, so stop.”
Abadon claimed that her so-called 
favourite line from Snow, was when 
he told everyone at his traning 
seminar that “if this was a  
dildo-on-a-pole match, you guys 
would acutally work better,” a line 
Abadon claims was said after an 
on-the-fly-tag match. 
Abadon added that indie wrestler 
Heidi Howitzer can vouch for these 
claims, and though Snow, who 
currently trains wrestlers and owns
OVW, hasn’t commented yet, 
this isn’t the sort of publicity the 
former Hardcore Champion wants.
