WWE will be holding a backstage meeting for all talent prior to next Monday’s edition of Monday Night Raw, according to PWInsider.com.
According to the report, Vince McMahon has organized the meeting himself in order to discuss with talent how the company will be changing with the announcement of the WWE Network. The network is expected to vary the way WWE does its business, especially in regards to pay-per-views.
One of the areas of concern for talent has been just this. PPVs normally sell for around $50 a piece, but with the new network, all 12 WWE monthly events will be available for just $9.99 each, along with all other content. There has been worry that because of this, the bonuses that performers acquire from wrestling on PPVs may be gone or significantly lowered as well.
WWE touted the network as “groundbreaking” and something that would change the industry forever. It is likely that McMahon and WWE officials will address these claims prior to Raw going live from Providence, R.I.
