The Board of Directors didn’t raise the salaries of the top executives for the last 2-3 years. Amidst the pandemic, WWE had also done some budget cuts to maintain the business ongoing and make a profit during those two years. 

Triple H and Stephanie earned less salary

As per the proxy statement WWE shared, there was no raise given to the top executives for three years. It was also observed that the salaries of Vince McMahon’s daughter Stephanie McMahon and his Son-in-law Triple H were half the amount Vince and Nick received.

Both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon’s salaries adding up together were not even $1.5 million, which is less than some WWE superstars earn. The Board of Directors has agreed to increase the salary of Vince McMahon and Nick Khan in 2022. But there is no word on the increase in salaries of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

Although, Triple H earns a salary of $1 million as an active wrestler in WWE. However, because of his current health issue, he might be out of action for some time.
