Remember that base salaries don't count PPV payouts either. So Fandango, if he gets paid for the Fashion Police segments, makes something like 450k a year.

And to be fair, when they say 300k estimate for the "low end," they mean main roster men. Your Fandangos, your Nevilles, etc. Women, cruiserweights, and James Ellsworths make less.

https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/wwe-superstars-salary

Fandango - 300k

Neville - 300k

Charlotte - 290k

Alicia Fox - 85k

Ellsworth and the Cruiserweights aren't on that chart sadly. But I guarantee they all are in the 50k range for sure. Some will be higher.


Oh, for sure. I could buy somebody like Ellsworth being closer to 50k than not, but not Neville

I think Neville could make more working a lot of dates outside of the E, but he's certainly not making bad money

Think of it this way - Neville got payouts for every RAW brand PPV this year. He had a Mania match, and even though it was pre-show, he gets paid for it. Neville likely makes close to 500k this year. I doubt he makes anything off of merch (only guys on at least the Ziggler/Miz level do), but 500k is definitely more than he'll be making elsewhere unless he works 5 nights a week.

Another note - Dolph Ziggler in 2013 had a base salary of 534k. His current deal has a base salary of 900k.

He also gets PPV bonuses (regular PPV bonuses are also compounded by win bonuses). Dolph ended up with roughly 1.1 million on his 2013 year. With a direct take of merch now and 900k a year, he probably still will do upwards of 1.5 million even with fewer PPV dates this year.

Hold up. Did they change how PPV bonuses are given now? Because I remember them being pissed when the Network came out because PPV bonuses were based on buy rates that, obviously, are incredibly low now with the Network.

It's lower; that's why instead of more than doubling Ziggler's pay, it does like a 45% increase for him (the rest is from direct merch).

Part of me thinks "the Bludgeon Brothers" is the dumbest gimmick I've ever heard of and a total waste of what could be a good team

Part of me is really, really, really eager to see them beat people up with those goofy mallets of theirs.

Harper and Rowan have always been popular (when WWE actually cared about using them). They are the big, rough badass tag team with just enough crazy that gets people interested. Harper at least knows how to make a great match, and Rowan will have to do less work. Dumb as the gimmick might be, it's not so far a departure that they aren't still weirdos. Hell, they are less goofy than Bray now. Maybe they'll get their long overdue title win over the Usos...which STILL pissed me off years later.

This mean AoP could move to Raw if they get called up. Either that or we just get them both on SD and they bash each other faces in like a Steiners/Dungeon of Doom sort of thing.

The reason they don't really do anything with Alicia Fox is because they only do one women's storyline per brand, and they'd rather use it to push one of the dozen women they have called up in the last two years

Cramped division without a whole lot of space to really do anything in

The women's division's issue isn't that it's cramped.

I mean Smackdown once ran three separate women's programs at one point.

And you want them to blow through that in a week? Yes. Make the whole show nothing but sneak attack entrances, backstage vignettes with grainy footage, with matches against the Balor Club and the Bar and ...nope! Nothing for next week to build off of.

I mean, it IS empty fanservice, but it's better than anything we'd get out of them barring a Roman or Dean heel turn. If you're going to bother making them all faces, and all in the same brand, then this is what should be done. Things could be worse. They could be where Finn Balor is right now...
