Where’s Alexa Bliss been since she re-signed?

They signed her to a new deal in January too lol nick is a funny guy

They signed sheamus nattie and nakamura all to new contracts for reasons lol

I’m telling you, Triple H making the same mistakes TK did when he went on an ex-WWE signing spree for a couple years.

Wheres Omos been since they brought him back from Japan?

It's been said that NXT has it's own pay scale which is significantly less than the main roster pay scale. I remember Apollo Crews talking about it. There's different "steps" to the pay scale like a lot of businesses have. It's not exactly dependent on time spent, in Apollo's case it was "merit based" and I remember him saying he got a decent raise pretty quickly.

When you move up to the main roster that's a different negotiation. Wrestlers coming in from AEW or Japan are probably working out their main roster contracts before they sign.

Think only way we get some tangible numbers would be another WCW type lawsuit. But I think the stranglehold both companies have on the industry makes it unlikely coming from talent.

Took Jade 4.5 months to debut in WWE.

I would make an educated guess Ricky signed for more than the NXT going rate. He would have likely debuted on the main roster if timing had been different. Hopefully he didn't get conned into taking less than a main roster deal.

I think going to NXT took away every bit of the star power he had and he’s gonna have to start from scratch at a big age. Enjoy

It was either that, go indie for months to wait out Mania season, or sign with WWE and sit on the bench until Mania season was over.

Excuse me, my apologies, WWE doesn't put people on the bench, how dare I say such a thing

And how exactly are they going to fit all those people on TV with the main roster they currently have, the NXT wrestlers that are going to go to the main rosters, and their developmental programs?

By cutting people

I agree at the end. If you're on ice in any promotion, you have the freedom to work out a deal with your parent promotion to loan you to another.

He’s also had other proposals that I liked. Something like if you are healthy and haven’t been used in a certain # of months then you can opt out of your contract and become a free agent.
