Triple H noted three years ago that the minimum amount earned for a WWE star on Raw or SmackDown was $250,000 per year. However, Fightful Select is reporting that number has increased in recent years.
According to the report numerous talent and people who helped nail down deals for WWE stars chimed in on the topic following a recent Q&A. It was noted that the claim is $350,000 is the minimum for WWE main roster talent nowadays.
It was also noted WWE does cover airfare for main roster talent, but hotels and rental cars are usually not covered by WWE. With that being said, each deal is different, and there are different things that are negotiated into the deals.
While $350,000 is the minimum for main roster talent, big names such as Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Seth Rollins earn over seven figures a year from their WWE contracts.
