• Brock Lesnar’s WWE Salary Will Be Affected By AEW’s TV Ratings
According to the Wrestling Observer, Mr. Money In The Bank Brock Lesnar’s current WWE contract is set to expire in June 2020.
With UFC out of the picture for Brock now (as he’s retired from MMA once again), his salary in WWE will now depend on how All Elite Wrestling’s TV show performs.
Below is what Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer had to say about this:
“If AEW [TV show] ratings are stronger than expected, his leverage is astronomical. If they are weaker than expected, and their drawing has fallen, his leverage would be lessened greatly.”
