Details On The Contracts Of Performers Who've Recently Re-Signed With WWE
What's WWE offering to keep talents in-house?
Oct 4, 2019
WWE understandably feels a little more pressure when it comes to keeping its contracted talents in-house, with another promotion currently in the game.
In this week's edition of
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided some details on a few WWE stars that have recently penned new deals in order to stay with the company.
Among them, Braun Strowman signed a four-year deal worth $1.2 million annually.
AJ Styles, according to the report, signed for a deal significantly more than Strowman's back in March, though the terms aren't specified. Meltzer notes the considerable size of the deal is because of the influence Styles' old friends in All Elite Wrestling could have had in potential negotiations.
Speaking of Styles, his two OC stablemates, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, are said to have signed five-year deals worth $700,000 per annum back in July. When the two gave their notice to WWE back in the spring, they reportedly turned down offers of $500,000 per year.
Styles, at age 42, has said that this contract is his final one in wrestling.
