#4 Hope is true: NXT talent getting a huge upgrade in pay for Survivor Series

NXT talent works just as hard, if not harder than main roster superstars but due to the "developmental" tag attached to the show, the pay they receive is usually lower and they have to wait for an official call-up before getting a pay raise.

Tom Colohue reported that NXT talent, with all the work they've been doing this month building up to WarGames and Survivor Series, will be expecting a big bump in their pay.

Several sources have suggested that any NXT talent working both shows will be expecting a boost in their pay packet at similar or the same rates as the RAW and SmackDown talent that they would be competing against.

An internal source of Colohue told him that they're in a much better bargaining position with all the work they've been doing and they expect to be rewarded for it.

“We’re working harder. We’re working longer. You know the next chance I get I’m getting paid for it. I talk with all the other guys (on Raw and SmackDown) so I know what I’m worth.”

We hope this is true because they deserve a big pay raise for the amount of work that they've been doing.
