Big money
Feb 16, 2022
All Elite Wrestling's top earners have been revealed.
Within a report from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter about Cody and Brandi Rhodes' departures from AEW, it was noted Chris Jericho was "the highest money deal in the company until CM Punk came in", with The Second City Saviour believed to be on the same money as his WrestleMania 28 opponent.
Jericho initially signed with AEW on a three-year deal in January 2019 and AEW picked up Le Champion's option in his contract.
After joining the promotion, Jericho went on to become the inaugural AEW World Champion at All Out 2019. He also formed the Inner Circle and has had memorable feuds with the likes of The Elite, Orange Cassidy and MJF.
CM Punk joined All Elite Wrestling in August of 2021 after seven years away from the squared circle. He has since faced the likes of Darby Allin, Eddie Kingston, Daniel Garcia and Bobby Fish. The 43-year-old recently suffered his first loss to MJF after The Salt Of The Earth used the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
