Jim Ross recently revealed that a WWE star was offered, and has accepted a $500,000 contract with the company. The talent isn’t being used on TV, but he was offered such a large sum of money to ensure that he doesn’t become a free agent and leave to AEW.
However, it is now being reported by Fightful that WWE clearly has a lot of money to spend as they have offered both Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder of The Revival $500,000 deals too. However, both of the former Raw Tag Team Champions are yet to accept.
It is unknown if The Revival will accept these deals, but it has been reported for most of 2019 that the duo are unhappy with WWE’s creative direction for them and the company’s overall handling of the tag team division. It was even rumoured that Dawson and Wilder had asked for their WWE released amidst interest from All Elite Wrestling.
The pair lost their Raw Tag Team Championships to Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder at WrestleMania 35 and also lost a rematch the next night on Raw.
