#3. Hope isn't true: WWE not offering NXT call-ups new contracts?

Keith Lee and Matt Riddle have been the two most significant moves from NXT to the other two brands of WWE in RAW and SmackDown. There have been a few moves from NXT in the pandemic era, but what's interesting to note is that WWE has reportedly not offered these Superstars new, upgraded contracts.

Usually, a move to RAW or SmackDown means a bigger contract and a bigger paycheque, but that hasn't been the case, according to Fightful Select.

Sportskeeda's Lennard Surrao wrote:

The general belief has always been that moving up to the main roster gets the Superstars more money. There is undoubtedly a big difference between main roster money and NXT money. It was noted in the Fightful report that several talents had not been given new contracts as they are working lighter schedules than they were in NXT.

While we understand WWE's point of view, we hope this isn't true because it might set a new precedent. Moreover, we can't even be sure when things are going to return to normal.
