"He won’t be making $15 million per year anymore" - Roman Reigns' WWE contract allegedly being renegotiated by TKO

A wild rumor about Roman Reigns has been making the rounds. Former WWE commentator Hugo Savinovich has now provided more details on the ongoing speculation regarding the OTC's contract situation.

WWE under TKO appears to be revamping its roster, having decided not to renew the contracts of R-Truth, Valhalla, and Carlito. Roman Reigns, considered the highest-paid wrestler, has seemingly come under scrutiny due to his part-time status.

While speaking on Lucha Libre Online, Spanish commentator Hugo Savinovich broke down Reigns' rumored $15 million salary.

He doesn't believe the company would let him go, but stated that the Original Tribal Chief won't be making big bucks anymore.

"While they won’t outright release him, he won’t be making $15 million per year anymore...Now, why $15 million? Let me break it down. Roman Reigns’ base salary is $5 million. But then there are add-ons—pay-per-views, video game deals like WWE 2K, promotional appearances, merchandise royalties (he earns 30% on merch, which is huge), and special bonuses like appearances in Saudi Arabia. Plus, he earns a cut from ticket sales. All of this adds up to $15 million a year."

The veteran also learned that TKO wants to renegotiate Roman Reigns' contract.

“And TKO? They’re cutting costs across the board. We’ve seen recent releases, and there are rumors of more. Remember when Nick Khan—a major WWE exec—announced he was selling $4 million worth of stock? That raised eyebrows. TKO is saying: Roman’s not around full-time. Why are we paying him so much? So, they want to renegotiate.” (H/T - Ringside News)

Fans should take this report with a grain of salt, since there is no conclusive proof that supports the truth of Savinovich's claims.
