"Supposedly" Dixie had promised the talent huge paydays and their pay scale was unreasonable for a company that wasn't making that money back. For Mike Bennett, Dixie paid him $250,000 a year, plus what they were paying Maria, which is a HUGE paycheck for someone who just got to the company (and isn't a household name to wrestling fans). Anthem's justification is basically, take that money, find 3 or 4 guys for that price, and advertise those guys instead of paying one guy a quarter million a year.

From a business standpoint, if you can get rid of one Mike Bennett and get three "Paul Titans" out of it (indie guys who are young, athletic, good workers that you can mold for the next 10 years) and spend the rest of that quarter mil on advertising your new stars.... why wouldn't you?
To be fair more wrestling fans know who Maria is over Bennett. She was in the WWE and he wasn't. Also the Playboy spread.
