AEW Star Claims WWE Lied About Profits To Fire People

An All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star has taken to social media to claim that WWE lied about profits in order to have a reason to fire over 300 people.

Jake Hager, who is of course a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion in his own right, responded to a tweet from Stephanie McMahon celebrating WWE picking a ‘Corporation of the Year’ award.

Hager wrote:

Lmao. I guess lying about over 37 million in quarterly profits , so you can fire over 300 people, during a worldwide pandemic is a category for an award? @AndrewYang

To prompt Hager’s response, McMahon had tweeted:

So proud of the @WWECommunity team & all their hard work to make @WWE the 2020 Corporation of the Year at this year’s @PRNews CSR & Nonprofit Awards! WWE’s mission is to put smiles on faces & it could not be done without the hard work & passion of this incredible team!

WWE has been criticised a lot recently for its handling of talent throughout the pandemic for a variety of different reasons.

Andrew Yang, who Hager tagged in his tweet, has said he’ll strive to make things right if Joe Biden is elected as President.
