12 Things You Need To Know About Sting's WWE Deal And Future

10. Pay

What's Sting earning in WWE? There's really no way of knowing for sure, as he's one of the most private guys in the business. WWE aren't going to be revealing the figure either, as they're meant to be in a period of cost cutting. The likelihood is that he's on a very high salary relative to his limited dates. This is a guy who commanded over a million a year in WCW, so he doesn't necessarily come cheap. Earlier in 2014, there were reports in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Sting's deal was a mere 'Legends Contract' that would pay him a standard $10,000 a year. The Observer later clarified that the legend deal was just a part of it, he was also negotiating a talent contract. He's easily going to be putting away a solid six figures. He was rumoured to be on $800k in TNA with various other financial incentives. So it really wouldn't be that surprising if WWE had him on a $750,000 downside with various financial incentives that would see him top a million this next year. This is a guy who has the potential to shift a ton of merchandise sales.
