6 rumors about WWE Superstar releases: Backstage reaction, reason, future wrestlers to be let go, and more

#6 Reason why unhappy Superstar was offered a new contract

Oney Lorcan

There have been a slew of releases this past weekend, but there was a Superstar who was also offered a new contract. 205 Live Superstar Oney Lorcan announced this weekend that he has signed a new contract with WWE.

This comes as a surprise considering Lorcan's very public criticism of Triple H. He recently took a shot at Triple H who had said that WWE Superstars should not go on social media to ask for their releases.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed the possible reason why WWE offered him a new contract.

"But whatever it was whatever the problem is, that tweet got him, put it this way, I give credit to Levesque (Triple H) for this, because he can go in there and play ego and go, 'f*** him, he's a nobody, insulting me on social media' and it was an insult, or, it's like, we don't want him to go to AEW, he's a good wrestler, we're in a war, let's make him happy and they did the latter. A lot of promoters would have gone the other direction."
