They also released the Good Brothers after signing them to a big deal. That one was more on Heyman who in the 1st wave of releases in 2020 or 2021 didn't seem to realize Vince McMahon was gonna cut talent lol.
They signed him to that massive deal in July 2019. So he was in the 3rd year of a 4 year deal. From reports his deal was $1.2 million a year. It didn't include merch , video games etc. Do he was making bank awhile.
In the case of Strowman he was signed for a couple years , Owens is on a 2 year deal from reports.

The big question mark for the WWE is AJ Styles in fall 2022. He will fetch a BIG OFFER. He's gonna be the sought after free agent and Khan and Vince are likely gonna throw a lot of money at him. The guy has some years left and its gonna be on him how he wants to spend them. But the WWE has to be aware his deal is coming up and they will be throwing the world at him to stay.

It appears the WWE is gonna quickly run Lesnar vs Lashley the next month or 2. I really hope the long term plan is for Brock and Roman to have that final showdown and unify the belts at Wrestlemania.

Agreed Lesnar vs Lashley is the match/feud to watch. Will Vince figure out a way to eff this up? Probably.

The Wrestlemania program should have been Lashley vs Lesnar and Reigns vs Drew (because there's no one else).
But with WWE hot-shotting the Lesnar/Lashley program, it's obvious that Lesnar is going to go over Lashley.
Reigns vs Lesnar is pretty pointless at this time and it seems Reigns was supposed to go over him at Day 1. They've met each other enough times, it's a dead-end feud.
I honestly don't know what WWE plans to do at Wrestlemania because at this moment. The covid-19 outbreak has completely messed up whatever it is they planned to do.
