Austin Aries posted this tweet about making more money in the next six weeks wrestling in the indies than he made in the last four months of his time with WWE.
Upcoming 6 weeks of "bingo hall" $ >> Last 4 months of "big league" $. Awesome to see the #prowrestling scene thriving around the 🌎.

The intention of the tweet seems to be more about being pleased with the state of indie wrestling than taking a shot at WWE, though, according to a followup tweet:
No injustices. Not "taking shots." @wwe offers great opportunity. Today's thriving 🌎 #prowrestling scene also offers great opportunity. https://t.co/y2yWjXoVt1

Getting much more name recognition from his time in WWE also definitely has a lot to do with how much you can make in the indies, of course.
One upcoming show is in Australia, where Aries will be facing Ricochet.
