WWE News: Why did Dragon Lee choose the offer from WWE over AEW’s?
Speaking in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, wrestling veteran Dave Meltzer reported that AEW had also made an offer to Lee. However, Lee chose to opt for WWE as the WWE offer was above the standard NXT-level money.
AEW had also made an offer to Lee. One friend of his told us that Lee had come to him looking for advice, likely from him and others, on which offer to take. From a money standpoint, it was obviously more than Mexico but we were told the WWE offer was above the standard NXT-level money, but not main roster money. WWE contracts have a confidentiality clause in that the talent and their representatives are not allowed to reveal the dollar amount. If he was to get called up to the main roster, the general rule is a new contract is signed and the bottom number for the main roster is $250,000 per year.”
Thank you for the opportunity 🙏🏻 https://t.co/CtOIsy1Et5

WWE News: Dave Meltzer says Dragon Lee is expected to be the highest-paid NXT wrestler now
Though the money is not the same as the main roster earnings, Dragon Lee would be making a huge sum while working for WWE. In the same report, Meltzer said that the Mexican is expected to be the highest-paid star in the developmental brand now as the former NXT Champion was let go a few days ago.
“The belief is that he would be the highest-paid NXT wrestler now that Mandy Rose is no longer working with the brand. It’s a three-year deal and does call for pay increases with each year, but the hope and certainly the feeling he was given is he would have a main roster contract and be brought up in 2024.”
