There’s an old saying that “all publicity” is good publicity. In that case, WWE fans should be happy to hear that the company has drawn the attention of John Oliver. According to a Twitter post from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Oliver will discuss WWE’s independent contractor status on Last Week Tonight.
As I reported on Fightful Select this afternoon, HBO's Last Week Tonight is set to talk about WWE's independent contractor status. To what extent, I don't know. I've been led to believe that will be on tonight's show. https://t.co/s7FgjGWb3g

There are certainly more troubling reasons the WWE could be in the spotlight but, just before WrestleMania, an analysis of the company’s employment practices doesn’t exactly qualify as a positive development.
