there are no ppv bonuses or buys to share as far as I am concerned. Unless he has a great agent, Roman's salary is his salary, pretty sure that's how WWE has worked for a while now

 

[Comrade Khan]

Wrestlers don't have a union or a player's association, there is no revenue sharing

I mean he doesn't really fit in for this event anyway and clearly they don't need any extra help moving tickets. There's no other PLE after this one until the Rumble again so they can probably work a title match in on SmackDown like they did last year with Riddle.

As I understand it they have a base salary. Which guarantees amount of dates, what they're paid if they're injured things of that nature. It's possible this is just legends deals, or the old way.

The dates portion may require x number of PPVs for main eventers to show up at? So if your contract says 10 but you do 12 you may get a bonus or incentivized in some way.


I mean if I'm WWE and I've got Roman under contract and it's a blanket contract for whatever I want to put him on I'd use him a bit more than I am now. I get keeping him off air is safer for him draws out the title reign. But does Roman actually move the needle so much you need that?

 

[Chris]

I think I have heard they give bonuses kind of arbitrarily for big shows, since they don't have PPV buys involved anymore really. But I don't think it's anything really contractually obligated

 

[Dale]

Haven't guys like the Good Brothers joked about how good the Saudi pay is aswell?

 

[Comrade Khan]

Good Brothers is hardly a reliable source lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

I love that WWE has successfully convinced their fans its totally legit to not have your biggest draw and world champion on a big 4 ppv

+2.7k seats opened up.​

 

[John McHenry]

Going to be a pretty flat stage.

Convinced so well they made another champion just to have an extra excuse. They're going to look so dumb if the pay off isn't amazing.

the worst thing that could happen is Roman get injured on a C defense

Nah they'll just keep him off air until he's better. It'd have to be something that causes retirement at this point.
