      @@midnightexp1752 could absolutely be the case. But businesses are about making money, and you’re not going to be making money paying people like PAC $2m a year, only for him to be on the lower mid card or barely used.
      If these numbers are accurate (personally I doubt they are, especially when you have things like merchandise deals for both companies) and are par for the course.
      Also the idea that Khan has more money than Vince, therefore he can afford to pay these people more doesn’t work that way. Rich people don’t stay rich by over spending on every performer. 5 years down the line AEW is still not turning a profit, things will change.
      This story has already been told twice. Bring old WWE talent over to their company by offering them more money while saying their frustrations will be heard in AEW. The costs of running the company balloon, and eventually it can non longer continue.
      Wrestlers deserve their money, so happy for the people getting more. I’m strictly speaking on financials. But like I said, I just doubt this is accurate anyways. There’s too many things like merchandise, PPV buy rate points, etc to give an accurate figure on who is getting paid what in both companies.

    Ruby didn't make 80K when with WWE, the base value for WWE is 250K for the main roster. Considering that as independent contractors wrestlers have to pay for their own travel, food, hotel, gym, etc...If she was making 80K a year, she'd barely have any more after her expenses where paid, and that's before taxes and personal expenses like clothing, house bills (maybe even rent). That pay would make even less sense considering that according to Jon Moxley and Y2J, extras get paid 500 bucks, and a wrestler could get that much just by showing up, knowing that and considering that she was doing both TV and house shows, it would make no sense to have her wage be lower than what she gets for her appearances (remember not the same pay, wrestlers get a base wage, and their appearance fees and merch/gate cut is paid separately)

  • @RBRSC

    Most of these basically just reflect where on the card each promotion was lining them up (including the inversion with Cody, in WWE he is THE babyface, or was intended to be, in AEW he was an upper midcard sort of vet guy (and probably had a separate salary as an executive as well).
    When you get guys who stayed at roughly the same positioning (ie Big Show and Danielson) theres not much overall change.
    Punk and Jericho are the obvious big leaps. But we're comparing a salary a decade ago for an upper midcard to a guy AEW was positioning as the company face. And Jericho's latter days in WWE weren't even full time.

    If you really believe that wrestlers going to AEW is getting paid much more than WWE, first of all, the video never cited any sources so who knows if those values are the accurate. Second, you really believe that they are getting paid more for doing less dates? WWE wrestlers are on the road literally at least 3 days a week, they perform for TV, house shows, PPV etc, while AEW wrestlers are on the road like 3 days at most, and that's including Rampage if it's live, and PPV. And it's not like Rampage is live every week, and they only have 4 PPVs a year. If we count out Rampage and PPVs, they are on the road only one day. Plus, most wrestlers going there are mainly for the relaxed schedule, money rarely comes first to them. This video not having sources is misleading enough for any sane person to know that it is not accurate.

I'm a huge AEW fan and really hate WWE. But I believe that WWE pays more. Most of the wrestlers chose AEW over WWE because they were either fired or because they prefer happiness over money. They have way more freedom and personal time being in AEW. Freedom to have another career job in what they studied, more family time, more free time, a lot of them work and are champions in other promotions, a lot of freedom in creativity of their characters and storyline, and the list goes on and on.

    Wrestlers are not paid a flat salary. There is a base pay, plus per match, plus merchandise royalties. The actual amount of money a wrestler earns per year can be highly variable. Paying wrestlers to sit at home is a fairly common practice now, so that the company can sell their merchandise and prevent them from working for other companies. This video doesn't say which year the data is from, or it's base pay or actual earnings. And even base pay to base pay might not be a fair apples to apples comparison, as the per match pay or number of matches worked can very wildly. Likewise, a single high intensity spotfest match is more work than a squish match, so per-match payments aren't comparable.
