REVEALED: How Much Money Chris Jericho Got For His Appearance At Greatest Royal Rumble

In the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted how Chris Jericho was paid $100,000 by the WWE for a single appearance at The Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia this past April.

Jericho, earlier in the year, when he spoke to The Mirror, implied how he would get a lot of money for his appearance at the Greatest Royal Rumble. This is what he said:

“It was cool man. It was a long trip for a short period of time – I think I was in the Rumble match for four minutes or something like that,” Jericho said. “I know they must have been paid a whole lot of money, just by proxy of what I was paid haha. I was like ‘oh my gosh, really, you’re going to pay me that to do this? How much are you guys making?’ I always say I don’t do things for money but once in a while opportunities come up where you’re crazy if you don’t do it. It was a quick trip, I don’t remember much about it, because we arrived there, three in the afternoon one day and the next day we’re at the stadium at nine in the morning and we get back to the hotel at one in the morning and we’re gone at 5 am. So you’re really quickly in and out. Did I get a chance to do much other than sit in my room and try and get as much sleep as I could and sit in the backstage of a dusty old stadium? No, I didn’t. Haha. That’s about all I saw.”

Jericho spoke to Inside The Ropes earlier this month and made it known that he would need to be paid thrice what he made for Greatest Royal Rumble to appear for Crown Jewel event.

“Now that I know how much money they made from it, they’re going to have to pay me triple what they paid.”
