1) How Much NXT Superstars Get Paid
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided some insight into how much money that Superstars in NXT make.
Here is what Meltzer said about their earnings:
“They’re not making $250,000 or $300,000 or anything like that — Balor I’m sure is, but I don’t think anyone else is. They’re probably in the low $100,000’s…. I know one top person in NXT who’s been there for a long time, and he should be making a ton, but he’s making $130,000…. so, they’re making like $130,000, $150,000. Adam Cole may be making a little more, he should be. That’s the range.”
“NXT, you usually see the start at like $60,000, maybe $50,000 depending on who you are. If you’re like a guy who was a football player you’ll get more and then you’ll get raises to a certain point. There might be guys who make more than that, but not much more.”
My Take:
- Interesting to see some of these numbers. I think that fans expect that WWE is signing talents to these developmental deals for major amounts of money. Unless it is a rare situation, it looks like that isn’t the case.
