Backstage News on Ex-WWE Stars & El Rey-AAA

- Former TNA stars The Young Bucks and Frankie Kazarian have reportedly turned down deals for the El Rey Network's new Lucha Underground series with Mexico's AAA promotion.

Other names offered deals include Ezekiel Jackson, Maxine and Savannah, all former WWE talents. Word is that today was the last day for talents who were offered deals to sign them.

Chavo Guerrero will be working in a backstage role for the series and will be performing but at last word, he had not signed a deal yet.

Some talents have been hesitant to sign the deals because of the length of exclusivity, the lack of guaranteed pay and the inability to work indies without approval from Lucha Underground officials.

Regarding pay, some talents have been offered $750 per match while others, who could be considered top indie stars, were only offered $200 per match.
