Not that I feel bad for him, but Vince McMahon has lost a TON of money this year as WrestleMania was pre-taped with no audience.
Not only did they lose Mania, they also lost NXT Takeover (huge), the HoF ceremony, the fan Axxess stuff, and other wrestling whatnot that happens that week. Plus, not being able to go town to town for their 3 live weekly shows (and all the overseas tours) that past month they lost even more.
This is Vince trying to save what he can and invest back into WWE. There's rumors that they may have to cut wrestlers lower on the card to save money too. And they have a giant roster.
