How much more does Matt Riddle make in pro wrestling than the average fighter in the UFC?

[Prelimtapper]

He's making more than 99% of fighters in the UFC, he won, Dana lost

 

[Prelimtapper]

Riddld works 300 days a year in WWE. Not pretty.

Nobody has worked 300 days in wrestling since the 80s and even then it was few and far between.

That's one of those ol'carny stories to make the wrestler's life seem worse than it was.

Matt Riddle has an estimated net worth of 3 million dollars. WWE is paying him more than the average UFC fighter plus who knows how much he gets from merchandise and other dealings.

How many more nights a week does he have to work?

He’s still young, recently single, he travels the world, he bangs rats (documented), he hangs out with his boys, plays XBox all day with AJ and New Day, sounds more like a vacation (but with Vince Stress) but with a very nice paycheck. Once he hits 40 then his priorities might change. At 35 he’s really over the hill for a fighter who isn’t a champ/insanely fit but he’s hitting the beginning of his wrestling prime.

The WWE house show schedule 2021 isn’t the NWA champ 1985 show schedule.

He's only been wrestling like 3 to 4 years? He still has time to become a bigger superstar.

The NWA world champ definitely did. Flair's schedule from 1983 was insane. Four months with what looks like a grand total of four days off.

How many more nights a week does he have to work?

A few less.

Up and coming UFC fighters train (work) damn near every night of the week.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

If he was in the UFC he'd still be working a day job like tons of fighters. Matt Hughes still farmed, Shane Carwin still worked in IT iirc, etc.

 

[LeonardoBjj]

He'll be making a lot more than 162k that's for sure. He's actually a decent character in pro wrestling too, especially in a generation that's largely lacking characters.

- The Bro-king can work a match. I want Tom Lawlor in Wwe!

Riddle is smart

Also riddle must be in his late 30s by now and he prolly wouldnt be doing great in the ufc whereas it's still prime age for wwe
