Although WWE is getting $30 million a year from the USA Network to air NXT, NXT wrestlers will not receive a pay increase from this TV deal and a majority of their salaries are well below $100,000 per year. David Starr, an indy wrestler and an advocate for wrestlers unionization has said, "I've spoken to NXT talent which has been bumped up to TV and they had a roster meeting with management where they were told their TV pay raises weren't coming."

I'm curious to see someone "defend" this.
