There's truth to the story despite WWE denying it. Dave Meltzer will have more on it in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

There was a story published in Great Britain yesterday that she had walked out of the company and quit. WWE sources have denied that Jax has quit the company to PWInsider.com.

PWInsider.com can confirm, however, that Jax was not at this week's Raw taping, although she was originally slated to be there. One source believed that the original plans for Sasha Banks going into the TLC PPV was for her to face Jax, not Alicia Fox.

Since Jax was not at Raw, the idea she "walked out" of the taping cannot be true.

PWInsider.com can also confirm that Jax is no longer scheduled to film material for the new season of Total Divas this week in New York City. She had been slated to film content tomorrow and Friday, one source close to the production of the reality series has told us. So, Jax is absolutely off the road for dates that she was originally slated to work for the company - but the root cause of that, whether that be approved time off or something else, remains to be seen.

On Wednesday’s Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive discussed the Nia Jax rumors. It’s an odd story because no one has officially confirmed anything, other than a denial from WWE about her leaving. There’s also the story from Pro Wrestling Sheet with a source telling them that she took a leave of absence.

Alvarez said, “According to WWE, Nia Jax has not gone and she never left. That’s what they say. She was not at Raw on Monday so she didn’t walk out – that’s for sure.”

“I know that Nia Jax has been unhappy about things. I was told that Nia wanted the match with Asuka at the [TLC] pay-per-view and she’s not getting it. God bless her, I’ve seen that match live [and] I don’t want to see it at the pay-per-view. There were some other things that she was unhappy about.” To me, the fact that Emma got the match should not be taken as a slight to Jax because it’s likely that Asuka will get a squash win at TLC. Jax should be someone saved as a future (and more credible) opponent. Alvarez later added, “Something’s going on but I don’t know what it is. WWE claims there’s nothing going on. But things are going on but I don’t know what’s going on. Does that make sense?”

Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso reported that she is unhappy with her creative and pay scale. We noted earlier that she has leverage due to her family link with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson so there are options for her, namely with The Rock’s 7 Bucks Entertainment. Eva Marie is signed with 7 Bucks and the same company has been working on a movie about Paige’s family.

When Jax returns to WWE, the betting line is that she’ll probably have a bigger paycheck.

PWInsider.com has also learned that Bray Wyatt (Dallas' brother) and ring announcer JoJo (who dates Wyatt) have been kept at home as well in what appears to be a preventive move in case they may have also been exposed to the illness.

It appears Neville's decision may be influenced in-part by Austin Aries, who left the company on amicable terms earlier this year. The SI report notes that Neville learned Aries would be making more in the next six weeks on the indies than Neville would in the same timeframe while with WWE. We noted before that Neville had pushed for his WWE release with the idea of working the indies and making a name for himself there.

Regarding his match being left off the WrestleMania 33 DVD, not only was Neville upset about missing out on the pay but he was said to be "infuriated" that the company "would disregard his service and value" after being as dedicated as he was. Neville reportedly felt that he was viewed as "nothing more than a very talented 'get-over guy' used to enhance" other Superstars
More details from Sports Illustrated's article.

Several are thinking about it, as far as asking Cody, it would make sense to do that but you'd have to ask him. https://t.co/cj3HNZn1BT

"It wasn’t necessarily reciprocated so I’m not sure where he stands or if he had any interest at all, to be quite honest. But I did. I don’t mind saying.”
