• Top Star Says WWE Does Not Cater To Its Talent At All
WWE wrestlers have one of the most demanding schedules in the industry, spending a large part of the year on the road. Despite being part of a global company, many aspects of their day-to-day responsibilities are handled on their own.
While speaking to Dan Soder on the Soder Podcast, former Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch opened up about the realities of working in WWE and revealed that talent are largely responsible for taking care of themselves when it comes to travel and presentation.
“I mean this politely, we’re not catered to. At all. Maybe there are a couple of folks…as you get more into it, you put up with less sh*t, but we pay for our own gear. They’re not getting us gear. We buy our own gear. We buy our own rental cars and our own hotels. We are in charge of booking those hotels and booking those rental cars.
I think that’s why, actually, when we go to work at other places, whether it be ‘Billions’ or wherever, people are pleasantly surprised at how easy going we are because we’re not used to being catered to. We don’t expect anything. We don’t expect anybody to look after us. We are standardly so self-sufficient.”
Becky Lynch will challenge AJ Lee for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42 – Night 1 in Las Vegas this weekend.
• WWE Wrestler’s Injury Situation Has Worsened
Santos Escobar has suffered a significant setback following a recent injury. The WWE star tore his triceps during an NXT live event match against El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. over Royal Rumble weekend, which ultimately required surgery. The injury was noticeable during AAA’s Rey de Reyes event, where Escobar appeared to struggle in the ring.
It was previously reported that the former Cruiserweight Champion would be out of action for several months due to the severity of the injury.
Escobar took to X to provide an update, revealing that he has now encountered additional complication that will require another procedure.
“Hey familia, this is the emperor of Lucha Libre, Santos Escobar, with a quick update on WrestleMania week. As you probably already know, I went through tricep surgery. There was a minor hiccup on the road with my ulnar nerve, a nerve that runs through my arm. So I’m gonna have to go and do surgery again to repair that situation. Kills me not to be there with you this week, but to all of my WWE family, Happy WrestleMania week. Love you.”
