So its not worth the money to make a min base 75, 000 a year but its cool to make a few hundred in gyms and doing shoots?![]()
Divas actually make that much guaranteed? Or it that pay rate for the top stars?

Main Roster divas do more than 150,000 a year.Divas actually make that much guaranteed? Or it that pay rate for the top stars?

The rest? Who else is left lol? Aj? Makin more.Are you kidding me?
Says who?
Nattie and Layla make more than that and possibly the Bella's combined but the rest![]()

Others like Alicia Fox and Layla are not on the road full time.
But yeah they EASILY making that, past Observers confirmed that.
Actually Layla and Alicia do not do 95% of house show reports I have read.[
As a guaranteed base pay? EVERY diva on the main roster? I doubt it...AJ is probably making a bit more because she is divas champ right now but no way does she have a base pay of $150k
Alicia and Layla are on the road full time just not always on TV but they do house shows, appearances etc
I doubt Jinder Mahal makes that much and he is on the road jobbing out each week so Unless you understand the pay structure it's not sensible to just blurt out that being on the road full time guarantees a pay check of $150k
Actually Layla and Alicia do not do 95% of house show reports I have read.
And Jinder makes more jobbing out on the road each week, breh, he is making around 200K. Again all of this shyt was in the Observer, all these guys make MUCH more than people think.
This should make for some interesting Saturday night reading. This was posted on the Wrestling Observer Message Board. It’s the current contract and salary info for most active members of the WWE roster. Some are expected and some are pretty shocking (Khali being one). Let us know what you think of this (Kenny):
These figures are rounded up from the original figures we received. These figures do not include, PPV or appearance bonuses, nor do they include the merchandise cut that each performer receives. Some performers receive an additional percentage added to their merchandise cut, if they are a high merchandise seller, and these are noted.
Note 1: It would appear that WWE’s standard contract lengths are 1 year, 3 year, 5 year, 7 year and 10 year.
Note 2: Some performers are offered a higher merchandise royalties percentage for taking a smaller downside. These figures were not made available to us.
Note 3: The executive office and “legends” contracts were not made available to us. These contracts operate on a different system entirely.
Note 4: The Undertaker is believed to be on a per-appearance contract, in which he is paid an agreed upon rate (a long with the typical PPV bonus if he wrestlers) for each appearance he makes for the company. Undertaker of course, still receives his merchandise royalties, etc, but isn’t on a downside contract. Undertaker is not on a legends contact, which means he cannot make appearances for independent promotions.

He is not, but this is common sense. People try to make fun of these divas and jobbers, but there is a reason why Indy wrestlers would kill someone to go to WWE. Money is huge.OK
Dave Meltzer is ALWAYS 100% accurate
