• WWE Paying Their Female Wrestlers Big Money To Sit At Home During Greatest Royal Rumble?
During a recent edition of Dinner With The King podcast, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Jim Cornette discussed the Greatest Royal Rumble event.
Lawler noted that WWE sent out a list regarding this event and he won’t be able to use his “King” moniker at the event. Below is what Lawler said regarding this:
“If I walk out there and pretend to be a King, is that going to be offensive to the royal family?”
Cornette then questioned why don’t the WWE (who are making millions of dollars with their deal with Saudi Arabia) pay their women wrestlers hefty money while they sit back at home during the Greatest Royal Rumble.
Lawler responded the following to this:
“I think that’s exactly what’s happening.”
