Last week we reported that former WWE Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson have reportedly turned down several, multi-million dollar deals from WWE, and intend to exit the company when their current contracts expire in September.
According to PWInsider, Gallows and Anderson have been pulled from all WWE live events going forward, and remain advertised only for television tapings and PPV events.
The feeling is that Anderson and Gallows have yet to agree to a new WWE deal, so the company made the decision to pull them from the road. It is likely the two sides will continue to negotiate a new deal between now and the fall, as Gallows and Anderson’s current contracts do not expire until September.
