The WWE Talent Relations department sent out letters this week to former contracted talents and referees to offer them financial planning assistance in a number of ways.
WWE is now offering, free of charge, financial planning and debt assistance services through a financial firm. Anyone who was ever under contract to WWE is able to receive the assistance.

WWE is also offering a $5,000 per semester scholarship to any former contracted talents who are looking to further their college education. Talents must enroll by August 1st to be eligible for the fall 2014 semester scholarship and must provide proof of enrollment to WWE.

WWE being a stand up company most of the time is nothing new. Ted Dibiase has told multiple stories of Vince paying off people's debts and houses and such for a long time. But nice to see them do something that is big and public, probably to negate the recent bad press but still.

Always nice to see WWE helping people. It's something that they're not really forced to do besides PR, nice gesture.
