WWE's talent is shockingly underpaid. Sports pay 50% of revenue to players, which is the model AEW follows. WWE only uses about 15-20% for salary, but their talent doesn't understand leverage like players in other leagues do.

Piece of advice to Paul and little Nicky Khan. Maybe don't brag every show about the record revenue you're doing and then cut benefits, slash employees, and don't give cost of living raises. Workers tend not to appreciate that shit #WrestleSky

Despite a well paying alternative existing, they still offer the "Big League Discount" contracts
The pie got bigger
