Well, if they're going by eastern time, that call is happening right the f*** now. Whatever this update is, we'll find out real soon.

Something's up. They're either shutting down for a bit, Vince booked a larger arena to work shows or something even nuttier. I don't think they'd just host a random conference call like this to rally the troops. At this point, it has to be something nuttier, right? Vince McMahon going full nougat.

I think the most realistic nougat thing would be SummerSlam serving as the official "return of the WWE Universe" and them agreeing to host the show as planned in Boston per Trump or something.

Vince McMahon's conference call with WWE employees is currently ongoing: *McMahon just announced cutbacks and furloughs for WWE staff and the company overall, stating that these were hard decisions that reflect the current reality. *McMahon stated there would be cutting back on pay for Board Members and Executives. *Plans to move WWE Headquarters out of Titan Tower to the new HQ in Stamford, CT have been delayed. *McMahon also stated they would be cutting the talent roster and overall head count of employees. Some will go on furlough. Others will be let go from their responsibilities. Employees will receive texts about where they stand going forward. The meeting lasted less than five minutes. www.pwinsider.com/article/135611/vince-mcmahon-informs-wwe-employees-of-major-cuts-across-the-board-talent-staff-cuts-coming.html?p=1

Lots of cuts even after bribing their way to being deemed “essential” is just not a very good look for WWE.

Explains why the Revival got cut, like I said, if you're to cut people might as well start with people that want out.
Also explains the "immediate" part of the release. That saves 90 days of downside payments.

What's the Austin Theory thing, I've never seen him work but heard he was a big prospect... not living up to expectations? Expectations too high?

You just know that the media are readying their usual puns. "Vince McMahon to bodyslam unemployment", etc.

I mean, management could have taken a pay cut to prevent furloughing people and making cuts to possibly build some kind of confidence in the system.
But hey, that’d be socialist or something.
