It was reported last week that a meeting was held at the WWE Performance Center in regards to NXT talents’ pay structure possibly changing. The meeting reportedly resulted in the confirmation that talents will still get paid money from their developmental deals, without gate bonuses, despite being called WWE’s “third brand.”

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that some talent took the idea of being a third touring brand seriously and thought they would be paid more appropriately on larger shows, but this is not moving forward. The report said eventhough WWE is attempting to position NXT as a third brand for the public, it will still be contracted like developmental for the talent.

Oh that's great. Fucking put on the better shows and get paid less. There's a lot of people who shouldn't even be in developmental.

Well it sounds like they are booking like the indies, fucking their talent over xD
