During the WrestleMania 38 weekend, WWE held the it’s most recent tryouts, which were covered by The Athletic. The sports news outlet spoke with several participants in the tryout, as well as the EVP for Global Talent Strategy & Development, Triple H.
While speaking, The Game Triple H had also spoke about the annual salaries of main roster superstars. Here what Triple H said as mentioned in the paywalled article.
“Levesque [Triple H] said wrestlers on the main roster for “Raw” or “SmackDown” earn at least $250,000 annually.” [H/T: Fightful]
I spent three days with @TripleH at a WWE tryout to see why the company is going all-in on college athletics.
No matter the sport, WWE wants to be viewed as a pro sports destination like the NFL or NBA.
"That becomes this massive ocean of talent."https://t.co/99JLcfrJlu pic.twitter.com/VOxZ0VRFlf
