We noted how the reaseon behind the latest wave of WWE releases was due to budget cut and talents not having the COVID-19 vaccine.
Nia Jax was released due to her vaccination status, but she later issued a statement and said her vaccination status was never brought up.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter now reports that while no one was told that if they didn’t get the COVID-19 vaccine their jobs would be on the line, there were people who were very much encouraged to get the vaccine. Multiple sources indicated that nobody told the wrestlers they had to get the vaccine, or warned them that their jobs would be in danger if they didn’t.
One top WWE wrestler who was not vaccinated was reportedly told that if they didn’t get vaccinated, they would be less valuable to the company due to not being able to go on overseas tours.
Stay tuned for more.
