In a recent appearance on the 2 Count Tuesday podcast, Jonathan Coachman shed some light on the backstage atmosphere in WWE. The wrestling veteran claimed that things had turned sour following TKO asking talent to take pay cuts. Coahman stated that performers were now apprehensive of voicing their frustrations in fear of losing their jobs or having to take another pay cut.

“And now, with the pay cuts, it’s even worse. You can’t say anything because they’ll come to you and say, ‘I don’t give a s*** whether you have two, three, or four years left on your deal—we’re going to give you a pay cut, or you’re going to walk out the door for whatever reason.” said Jonathan Coachman (H/T – TJRWrestling)

Jonathan Coachman also made wild claims regarding Roman Reigns’ relationship with WWE

A few weeks back, Jonathan Coachman spoke about WWE advertising and then pulling Roman Reigns from its June schedule. He alleged that things might be far from rosy between Reigns and TKO. Coachman claimed the World Heavyweight Champion is amid a salary dispute and that he feels underpaid by the company.

“You want us to believe that you made an error in advertising every single RAW and a PLE in the month of June? I believe there is something going on. I believe TKO, who is so disengaged from all of this, is looking at Roman Reigns, unlike Dak (Prescott), who makes 60 million as the number one guy; we are talking about 10 million a year. To me, that’s underpaid.”

Reigns is currently slated to defend his title this Sunday at Clash in Italy 2026 against his cousin Jacob Fatu and then take a short sabbatical from WWE.
