This is total BULLSHIT!  WWE is sitting on half a billion dollars of cash reserves.  This is an obvious move meant to placiate mark stockholders who don't realize that talent costs represent a LUDICROUSLY low 10% of expenses.  In Japan, WWE would be called a "black company" and well deserved.  I hope some good comes of this.

Speaking of which, and moving back into continuity, will any of these talented wrestlers make their way to the AWL?  The answer: Maybe.

All AWL footage through Golden War 2020 has been filmed and is in the proverbial can.  As for what happens afterwards, I have no idea but it's certainly possible and I'd be lying if I didn't say that there were names in that list that any booker would be drooling to have on their rosters and I'm no exception.  Hopefully some of them will make it to the AWL Dojo or preferably the AWL Arena.

Until then, please support independent wrestling and your favorite wrestlers directly if you can.  Stay safe, stay healthy, and remember: We're all in this together.
