by | Sep 29, 2023 | News, WWE News | 0 comments

In a significant move that’s set to send ripples through the wrestling industry, RawBreakdownProject.com has been acquired by an undisclosed entity. This platform has been at the forefront of advocating for equity and transparency within the wrestling community, offering a unique space for discussions around pertinent issues such as wage inequality among male and female wrestlers.

Addressing the Pay Gap:

Wage inequality has long been a contentious issue in various sports, and wrestling is no exception. The acquisition of RawBreakdownProject.com serves as a platform to shine a spotlight on this pressing matter, fostering open dialogue and pushing for actionable solutions.

Several instances highlight the glaring pay discrepancies between male and female wrestlers. For instance, reports have indicated that top male wrestlers such as Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns earn significantly more than their female counterparts like Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, despite the latter’s substantial contributions to the industry.

The pay gap between male and female wrestlers is around 27%. Huge amount extra!

Here are some of the salaries…

WWE’s top male superstars base salaries

  • Brock Lesnar $5m
  • Roman Reigns $5m
  • Randy Orton $4m
  • Seth Rollins $3.5m
  • Cody Rhodes $3m
  • AJ Styles $3m
  • Kevin Owens $2m
  • Logan Paul $2m

WWE’s top 10 female superstars base salaries

  • Becky Lynch $3m
  • Charlotte Flair $2m
  • Bianca Belair $500,000
  • Bayley $500,000
  • Alexa Bliss $350,000
  • Jade Cargill $350,000
  • Rhea Ripley $350,000
  • Asuka $350,000
  • Trish Stratus $310,000
  • Natalya $300,000

Pioneering Change:

The acquisition aims to leverage the influence and reach of RawBreakdownProject.com to amplify the voices advocating for change. The platform is set to feature in-depth analyses, interviews with industry insiders, and discussions on viable strategies to bridge the gender pay gap within wrestling. By bringing the conversation to the forefront, the project aspires to drive systemic change and promote equal pay for equal prominence and contribution in the ring.

Wrestlers Speak Up:

Several wrestlers have been vocal about the need for wage parity. Ronda Rousey, former UFC champion and WWE star, has been one of the notable advocates for equal pay in combat sports. The Bella Twins, Nikki and Brie Bella, have also expressed their concerns about the issue, calling for increased transparency and fairness in wrestler compensation.

Industry Response:

The acquisition of RawBreakdownProject.com and its commitment to addressing wage inequality has garnered support and attention from various stakeholders within the wrestling community. Many are optimistic that this move will prompt wrestling promotions and organizations to reassess their compensation structures, ensuring fairness and equality for all performers, regardless of gender.

Conclusion:

The acquisition of RawBreakdownProject.com marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing efforts to address wage inequality within the wrestling industry. By fostering open dialogue and pushing for reform, the platform aims to champion the cause of equal pay for wrestlers across the board. The wrestling community watches with anticipation as RawBreakdownProject.com takes on this formidable challenge, hoping it will pave the way for a more equitable future in the sport.

Personally I feel like the pay gap is way too much, both male and female wrestlers bring in crowds.

The female wrestlers need to be paid a higher salary considering the contribution they make to the wrestling industry.
