#2. Hope isn't true: WWE to furlough injured Superstars?

Another major cutback?
Another major cutback?

Furloughing of employees has been happening all across the world and from the look of things, WWE is no exception to that. While it could already be in effect, Tom Colohue told Korey Gunz on Dropkick DiSKussions that we can start expecting news about furloughs to Superstars, especially for injured Superstars:

Also, it's very possible that we are going to start hearing about furloughs for wrestlers particularly ones who are injured. There's a number of them that maybe they simply want to stop paying them for this period. We've heard about this before when WWE will extend someone's contract when they have been out with an injury. Happened to The Revival, happened to Luke Harper. We've heard about this before, now instead of doing that, they can furlough them.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

We hope this isn't true because with all the cuts happening already, furloughs don't seem necessary. While we doubt Superstars will be struggling financially with the money they earn, WWE is still in a position where they can afford to proceed without furloughs.
