In today’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that, before his WWE release, Hathaway was offered a deal by WWE that not only would’ve extended his contract and moved him to the main roster, but would’ve bumped his pay up to $250,000 a year.

This corroborates reports the came out shortly after Hathaway’s release, which stated Hathaway had been offered a contract extension (after signing a short-term extension in 2021) this past February. It was also reported Hathaway had been pitched for a spot on “WWE Monday Night Raw” managing star Omos, who Hathaway had managed early in both men’s WWE careers while they working the “WWE NXT” house show circuit.

Jericho said it was a slap in the face, and Jeff agreed:

Jeff tbh should be thankful that Vince gave him a 2nd chance.... with his track record of substance abuse.... alot of bigger promotions would not want to take a risk of dealing with him.
