#4. Hope isn't true: Some WWE Superstars could have their contracts frozen

Two of the names absent in the pandemic era

Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, and most recently, Kevin Owens, have been three names notably absent in the pandemic era of WWE. While there have been many names who have taken a leave of absence by choice, these are the three that stand out.

When asked about whether WWE would freeze the contracts of performers taking voluntary leave, Dave Meltzer revealed on the Wrestling Observer Radio that it's highly possible for WWE to freeze the contracts of certain performers:

With Kevin Owens it's only been a couple of weeks... so I guess it's not. But with Sami Zayn it probably will be. If it's Roman Reigns, they may not want to p*** him off, and he isn't going anywhere anyway. He is one guy who is not going to go anywhere. But with some guys absolutely they will freeze them (their contracts)

We hope this isn't true because it would be unfair for WWE to offer Superstars the option of taking a leave during the pandemic and then using it against them.
