>>14263064Rumor floating around is that Dexter's pretty much stealth retired at this point, but still drawing a WWE check for his role in helping Hunter/Steph overthrow Vince.
The story floating, is that after Vince shitcanned him a couple of years back, Dexter got Christy Hemme to go to Hunter/Steph with the story about how Vince forced her into an affair and then fired her once he got bored with her and then paid her off and how Vince allegedly told Christy that he's done that before when he paid her off to sign said NDA on the affair. With the info about Christy's pay-off being used by Hunter/Steph to basically track down similar payments from Vince that they used to find other women which was then given to a sympathetic journalist.
Hunter rehired Dexter and was going to push him with Johnny until Vince came back, which led to Vince vetoing a Way reunion and forcing Hunter to go with Plan B to reunite Gargano/Ciampa. To make it up to Dexter, who was basically banned from TV by Vince/Pritchard (who supposedly suspects Dexter of helping in the coup), Hunter fronted Dexter, out of his own pocket, seed money for Dexter to start his own wrestling school with an eye towards Dexter working as a talent scout and training would be wrestlers in the basics who would then be funneled to NXT where they can get advance training from Shawn and his crew.
