Former WWE star Maven took to his YouTube channel to discuss various topics, including how much money he was paid for non-televised events.
Maven said, “So, how much did I get paid for my matches? Well, for a WWE house show, or non-televised event, I would make, on average, anywhere from $700 to around about $1,400 per match. Now, there were some factors that went into this, mainly, how full was the arena and who else and what position were you on the card. If you were lowering the card earlier in the match, obviously you get paid less. If you’re higher up in one of the main event matches, obviously you’re making more. It differed, but we still knew we were making a good payday.”
On how much money he was paid for televised shows:
“For televised shows, we had similar metrics, your positioning on the card and attendance all factored on how much you were getting paid, but we were on TV. Obviously, we made more. An average pay for a televised show would be $1,500, on average, to $3,500. That can, at times, be for the same match you’ve had the previous three nights, and now you’re just having it in front of a televised audience.”
