• WWE Edits Sol Ruca’s Botch From RAW (Video)
On last night’s episode of RAW, Sol Ruca signed her RAW contract. Becky Lynch interrupted and said this was supposed to be her Women’s Intercontinental Championship celebration segment and told Sol to leave.
Becky tried to punch Sol, but accidentally punched Adam Pearce instead. Sol then took out Becky with the Sol Snatcher.
Sol had a little slip-up on the bottom rope during the Sol Snatcher, which WWE has now edited. You can watch both versions below:

• Why TKO Is Asking Some WWE Wrestlers To Take A Pay Cut
Even though WrestleMania 42 made a huge amount of money, WWE is now pushing many of its wrestlers to accept lower pay. The company’s parent company, TKO, is looking to increase its profits by looking at how much stars are paid compared to how much they are actually used on TV.
According to reports from Bodyslam and the Wrestling Observer, management believes some wrestlers are currently overpaid for their roles, so they are asking them to sign new contracts for less money.
This situation has already led to some big names leaving the company. For example, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) were reportedly asked to take a pay cut, but they refused to renegotiate and asked for their release instead.
On the other hand, several other wrestlers have chosen to stay and accept the smaller checks. Dave Meltzer mentioned that one specific star took a major pay cut just to remain with WWE, even though he could have made more money jumping to AEW.
These changes aren’t expected to stop anytime soon, as the company plans to keep reviewing contracts to make sure they aren’t spending more than they think a talent is worth.
