Backstage Updates: WWE Developmental & Diva Pay Rates

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

In an update from our recent report on what new WWE developmental talents are paid, apparently it’s mainly the beginners and some of the guys from the indies that start out at the $25,000 per year range.

Most of the NXT Divas reportedly earn in excess of $50,000 per year because of the belief that they need more money to pay for their “upkeep.”

Additionally, a lot of developmental talents were given raises when the company moved the system from Tampa to Orlando last year. Some of the football players actually start at $52,000 per year or more due to the fact that they are used to six-figure annual salaries.

The overall average pay is reportedly closer to $45,000 per year.
