Money and Drugs

By Scott Keith on 15 April 2024



Now that UFC and WWE are owned by one company, do you think TKO will make changes to WWE's wellness program? How do you think TKO would handle someone failing one test while still being employed with the other?

Punk recently went off about talent not being able to sell tickets, and while there is some merit in his argument, isn't the biggest money in wrestling tv rights deals, making that argument a relic of the past, mostly?


All the best.


The TV deal is all the money now. In the old days AEW running arenas with 2500 people for a TV taping would have been suicide, but now it's just bad optics while they collect the big money from WBD for producing content.

Also the UFC's version of the wellness program is a complete joke where guys like Conor can “retire” to skip tests and then “unretire” again as needed. I bet we won't see many more failures in WWE. Hell, have you SEEN the Rock?
