As part of their stockholder proxy release yesterday, WWE released details on compensation for top executives.

WWE Chairman and Cheif Executive Office Vince McMahon has a base salary of $1.4 million in 2020. When you add up his base salary (the same as 2021), $1.63 million in stock awards, $854,000 in incentives, and just over $20,000 in other compensations, McMahon earned $3,905,792 in 2020. This would be lower than his compensation in 2019 and 2020. In 2020, McMahon earned $5.6 million.

WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon was paid a 2021 base salary of $730,000. When you add in $464,778 in stock, $222,650 in incentives and $775,723 in other compensation (including her contract to perform on camera) to her base salary Stephanie earned $2,187,266 in 2020.

WWE Executive Vice President, Global Talent Strategy & Development Paul Levesque is earning a base salary of $730,000 for 2021. With $464,778 in stock awards, $222,650 in incentives and just under $906,737 in other compensation (including his contract to perform on camera), Levesque earned $2,318,280 in 2020.

Shane McMahon earned $820,369 as a performer for the company for 2021.

WWE President Nick Khan has a base salary of $1.2 million for 2021. After joining the company in August 2020, between his base salary of $498,462 (from August 2020 on), $6.8 million in stock, $471,823 in incentives, and $5.19 million in other compensation (including his signing bonus), Khan earned $12,964,565 in 2020 for the company. If Khan is fired or leaves WWE within the first 12-24 months of employment, he will have to repay $3.1 million. If he leaves or is fired within 2-3 years, he will have to contractually repay $1.2 million.
 
WWE began filming promos this week for the return of Aleister Black, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Black hasn't been seen on television since being drafted to the Smackdown brand last year.

Based on what we have heard about the vignettes, they are loosely based on Black's childhood. Black, 35, signed with the NXT brand in 2016, making a splash there. He was brought to the main roster in 2019 and most recently was seen feuding with Kevin Owens in the fall of 2020 on the Raw brand.

There is no word when they will begin to air, but one would think it would be seen.
 
Chelsea got the worst luck. She made her main roster debut on smackdown and was supposed to win the fatal four way to get a spot on the women’s team for survivor series but breaks her wrist, is almost all the way back and now she’s gone
 
Oh shit. I think Samoa Joe was released as well

Fuck. He was:


WWE just announced former WWE NXT, Ring of Honor and Impact Wrestling Champion Samoa Joe has been released.

Joe had not competed for the company in some time, instead working on the Raw announcing team. When that team was shuffled earlier this week, he was noted as still being part of the company's talent roster.
 
Ohhh shiiittt!
