ESPN and WWE sources respond to Freddie Prinze claims (Patreon)

Freddie Prinze Jr. made some headlines this week.

On his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, he said “ESPN, by the way, so unhappy with the deal. I was talking to a friend of mine who works for Disney, and he was just like, ‘Yo, they better make their money back on this deal.’ He just said, ‘They’re hot.’”

Fightful reached out to sources in WWE and ESPN, with one rep from ESPN simply claiming that they haven't heard that chatter, and have enjoyed working with WWE.

When we spoke to sources in WWE, a higher up said "no one in WWE upper management is aware of Freddie Prinze's role in wrestling or otherwise."
