Backstage Update on the WWE Network & Talent PPV Bonuses

One of the major questions coming out of the WWE Network launch back in February was how the Network would affect the PPV bonuses regularly given to the talents who worked the monthly events. This topic was said to be a major issue for CM Punk, and WWE's failure to inform talent as to how their pay may or may not change was one of the reasons why he decided to leave the company.

According to PWInsider.com, word coming from backstage in WWE is that nothing has been said to talents yet regarding their the Network and their pay. We are four months into the launch of the Network, and no one truly knows how PPV bonuses will work as it relates to PPV events airing on the Network.

Will Yoshi Tatsu Be Returning to Japan?

Recently released WWE star Yoshi Tatsu might be staying in the United States despite receiving offers from All Japan and The Great Muta's Wrestle-1 promotion immediately following his WWE release, reports The Wrestling Observer.

Tatsu feels he is more popular in The U.S. than in Japan, and even though that might not be true, he wants to stay here.
