WWE releases Mauro Ranallo

If the claim is Mauro took cash from WWE to shut up, well A) that's a very serious allegation to make against a publicly traded company, and the fake news reporters making such an accusation should be forced to release their evidence or face lawsuits for damaging WWEs brand image. And B) Mauro would then be a spineless, gutless cockroach for lining his pockets and in doing so allow future employees to be exposed to JBLs alleged wrongdoings.

He's also under a non-disparagement agreement so even if he wanted to, he's not going to risk getting sued for a lot more than whatever the WWE is paying him. Think with Del Rio, his agreement was worth around a million to a few million at most.

If WWE didn't have anything to worry about these allegations, they never would have offered hush money and just let him ride out the rest of his contract like they are doing with Paige. Would have probably even sued him like they are doing with Punk because allegations like these can seriously damage the rep of a company.

Agreements like that are standard in many industries. Doesn't mean it's "hush money". In fact a baseless allegation like that could be grounds for a lawsuit. Fortunately youre a nobody, so you're safe.
