Rumor Killer On WWE Firing Story, MLW News (Patreon)

One rumor is unsurprisingly false, and those familiar with the situation have confirmed it to Fightful Select. That shouldn't be a surprise given the source.

Jonathan Coachman, who once mentioned Britt Baker was WWE bound, that Vince McMahon was going to lead Saudi-backed buyers to purchase WWE, and got fooled by a parody page about Undertaker being listed as a producer for CM Punk vs. Sami Zayn, claimed he posted an incorrect story on Chris Jericho intentionally as a "social project" and questioned the reliability of "dirt sheets" while using their reports as content, now claimed on "Coach & Bro" this week that Road Dogg got fired over his support of Chelsea Green.

Not only did no less than a half dozen sources familiar with the situation deny this claim, it was reiterated to us by all of them that Road Dogg quit WWE as opposed to being fired.

Elsewhere in the wrestling world, we're told that Major League Wrestling will soon be undergoing a roster refresh. The company is opting to not renew some contracts, and drop some that are not performers based on data they've received from Tubi. The departures are likely to be announced by the talent.

MLW has stated internally that they hadn't had access to some of the data Tubi has provided them, as BeIN didn't get Neilsens and Youtube can be skewed. The company plans on clearing up some payroll in hopes to aim it at one or two larger free agents they're pursuing, with the thought that one or two bigger stars is more impactful to Tubi than six or so mid to upper mid level acts.
