Eric Bischoff has encouraged WWE Superstars concerned about their futures to not get caught up with the speculation of a possible sale of the promotion.
Earlier this month, Vince McMahon returned to WWE to oversee a sale of the promotion, less than six months after his retirement.
McMahon’s return has led to concerns among talent about potential mass releases and the possibility of WWE being sold to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.
On his Strictly Business podcast, Bischoff gave his advice to talent. He said,
“You’re a talent and you’re caught up in this, especially if you’re online and you’re following the news like all of us are, I can see you going into an emotional death spiral.
“This is really an opportunity for talent right now because who’s gonna stand out the most now? On that roster, in those locker rooms on Monday and Friday nights? Who’s gonna stand out the most? Probably the people with the best attitude because everybody is expecting to have a bad attitude and be nervous.”
Other names listed as potential buyers of WWE include Comcast, FOX, Disney, Netflix, Amazon, and AEW President Tony Khan.
