Lane informs that Billy Gunn was on Steve Austin’s podcast this past week, and he mentioned that he wasn’t paid by WWE when he was injured in 1995. Austin then informed that he wasn’t paid when he broke his neck either, and he was actually forced to get a ride home from the hospital that night with fans who followed his ambulance to the hospital.
Russo thinks that’s outrageous, but he’s sure that WWE pays their injured talents now because times have changed. He also loves Austin for speaking his mind and telling the truth, even if it’s something that might anger WWE. He points out that WWE needs Austin, so even if they’re angered by some of the things he says there’s nothing they can do about it.
Lane mentions that a report surfaced this past week which stated that some women on WWE’s main roster only make $45,000 per year. Russo doesn’t really know what to make of that information, but he does recall a curious tweet from Sasha Banks from weeks ago.
