Backstage News On Minimum Pay For WWE Main Roster Stars

WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque revealed about 3 years ago that the minimum pay for a RAW or SmackDown star in the company was $250,000 per year.

According to Fightful Select, the amount has increased significantly this year, and several WWE talents even contacted the publication to confirm these details. The current minimum pay for a main roster talent has risen to $350,000 per year.

It should be noted that while WWE covers airfare for its main roster talents, other expenses, such as hotels and rentals, are shouldered by the talents themselves. However, each deal is different, and stars can negotiate different items into their contracts. This appears to suggest that some are able to negotiate travel or hotel costs into their contracts.
