3) Update On Bonuses For WWE Stars
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Matt Riddle’s new contract has a bonus structure set up for if WWE returns to Saudi Arabia.
Meltzer says that Riddle’s new deal will pay him an extra $50,000 whenever he wrestles in Saudi Arabia.
My Take:
- Riddle’s new yearly salary is $400,000, so this shows you how much these Saudi Arabia shows can pay (on top of that). No wonder a lot of guys want to go twice a year.
