On an episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said WWE has not yet achieved the objectives it set following last year’s acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. Meltzer indicated that the integration and strategic milestones tied to the purchase remain a work in progress.

His comments add to industry scrutiny over the timeline and overall impact of WWE’s expansion into the Mexican market, where AAA’s roster and brand are viewed as significant assets. WWE has not publicly confirmed whether it has revised its expectations or adjusted its plan for leveraging AAA.

Two reports indicate WWE and its new parent company TKO have been asking contracted talent to accept pay reductions, with one rumor suggesting cuts could be as high as 50 percent. The outreach is said to affect performers across multiple tiers as the company reviews payroll and operational expenses.

If accurate, the proposed cuts could reshape contract talks and talent retention amid TKO’s restructuring, raising questions about morale and long-term roster depth. WWE has not issued a public confirmation as discussions are reportedly ongoing.
