Overview

• Dyer said WWE once presented social media, merchandise, and interaction numbers in negotiations but stopped after a wrestler used independent analysis to win a better deal.
• He alleged performers see their television exposure reduced in the final months of a contract, which is then cited to justify lower offers.
• Cageside Seats recapped Karrion/Killer Kross’s claim that WWE declined to share business metrics and pulled its offer when he did not accept within 24 hours.
• Outlet analysis frames the TKO era as favoring contract expirations over mass releases, with staggered timelines and occasional take-it-or-leave-it proposals.
• The articles report no formal WWE response to these accounts, and Dyer is currently working for MLW and Maple Leaf Pro on the independent circuit.
