AEW has significantly impacted the pro wrestling world with high-profile signings and substantial investments in talent. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW's total talent payroll is around $104 million per year. With 192 active wrestlers on their roster, this averages to $541,666 per wrestler, influenced by high-earning contracts like Kazuchika Okada’s $13.5 million deal. While WWE Superstars have a minimum base salary of $250,000, AEW's aggressive spending raises questions about sustainability, especially with the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view barely breaking even. Can Tony Khan maintain this level of expenditure without significant deals? Share your thoughts in the comments below!"
