During Vince McMahon’s reign in the company, there were numerous instances where he gave WWE Superstars bonuses, especially for the major Premium Live Events and more.
While speaking on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE talent do not get any kind of bonuses in addition to their contractual payment.
“When you’re in WWE now, basically, you’re making… you sign a contract for a million dollars, just say. You’re making a million dollars.
“There’s not a Saudi bonus, there’s not a pay-per-view bonus. There might be if you’re Roman Reigns… the super merch sale guys probably would get more, but most of the guys that’s not the case. Most people are making what their contract says right now.”
