Wwe wrestling salary

Answer 1

All WWE talent under contract are paid a "downside pay" which means they get a paid a certain amount no matter what. Even if they are injured, Wrestling every night, or just sitting at home as creative has nothing for them. A starting downside pay for a rookie is usually around 30-50 thousand.

From here talent is paid from tv matchs, television appearances, appearances (autograph sessions, sometimes interviews), merchandise. They are paid from house show matches on a percentage from the gate gross. More money is paid from actual wrestling. House shows are said to be a big fraction of your typical wrestlers salary.

Wreslters also get bonuses for holding titles, PPV matchs such as wrestling at Wrestlemania are worth a good amount of money.
