5 things you didn't know about WWE contracts

#5 Wrestlers are not considered as employees

NXT has a free-flowing talent base partly due to pro-wrestlers being independent contractors

The basic one – none of the WWE performers are considered to be employees of the company, but individual contractors. This has allowed Vince McMahon to circumvent the various labour laws associated with employment in the country.

There have been various attempts to unionize wrestlers, but the WWE has managed to prevent the same. WWE does provide benefits to wrestlers like health and travel insurance, though.
