Rumor Mill - WWE Staying Away From ANY Recent TNA Talent Including Ric Flair

Alex Shelley, Velvet Sky, Devon, Angelina Love & Ric Flair have been names that are linked to going to the WWE in recent weeks. According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE is "steering clear of any and all recently affiliated TNA Wrestling talent while the two grappling organizations do battle in court."

This is all stemming back from the recent TNA-WWE lawsuit still going on regarding TNA's contract information & WWE's use of it.

A good example of this is through Matt Morgan who decided to appear at a TNA house show on Saturday which appears as though WWE didn't rehire Morgan.

"Nobody is talking about Shelley and they won't even officially talk to Flair even though his non-compete is up," said Dave Meltzer on the official Wrestling Observer website.

TNA is also looking for cost cutting measures by "restructuring talent contracts" when they expired. This is what is said to be behind the departures of Devon and Velvet Sky.
