WWE Gave Talent Just Days To Accept Pay Cuts Or Leave Company

TLDR

According to Fightful Select, WWE approached numerous talent on the day of mass releases asking them to take pay cuts to remain with the company, giving several wrestlers only two days to make their decision. New Day's Austin Creed (Xavier Woods) and Kofi Kingston quickly decided they would rather leave the company despite the pay cut offer. The duo left millions of dollars on the table over the next four years by choosing to walk away.
