WWE News: More RAW Superstars Feeling Under The Weather
Finn Balor isn’t the only WWE Superstar under the weather!
After being sent home early last weekend from WWE’s South American tour (see the original story here), it was said this week on RAW that Finn Balor was dealing with an injury suffered at the hands of his TLC opponent, Drew McIntyre, last week (find that here).
Of course, this was just an angle and we would later learn the real reason for Finn’s absences were due to an illness (read about that here), yet it was expected he would be good to go for Sunday’s pay-per-view. Getting some kind of sickness this time of year is certainly not an uncommon occurrence for anyone and now it appears as if Balor’s not the only one dealing with something.
Prior to Monday’s RAW, WWE had announced that Alexa Bliss would be holding a press conference about the Women’s Division as part of the broadcast. However when the time came, Alexa was quickly cut-off by Nia Jax and Tamina before she could utter a word. The following day via Twitter, Bliss would note that she too is not feeling that great:

According to The Wrestling Observer, Alexa is feeling the effects of a bad cold which is why she was cut-off by Nia Jax and Tamina, thus the scheduled press conference never really took place. Additionally, one-half of the new RAW Tag Team Champions ‘The Glorious’ Bobby Roode is also said to be having a rough go of it, as he reportedly is having trouble even speaking. Of course while it hasn’t been confirmed, it’s not believed that either will be missing much, if any time.
If for some reason Finn Balor can’t compete at TLC, what should WWE do? Let us know on social media @theCHAIRSHOTcom and always remember to use the hashtag #UseYourHead!

WWE Has Yet to Reach Initial Goal After AAA Acquisition, Dave Meltzer Reports
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.

WWE/TKO Reportedly Seeking Major Pay Cuts for Talent
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.
