WWE

A WWE Hall of Famer has been revealed to have been paid $3 million for a Crown Jewel match.

WWE Crown Jewel has become a destination event for the company, in which the top stars and legends perform for one of the highest grossing events of the calendar year.

The first iteration of the event in 2018 was headlined by Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement to reunite D-Generation X with Triple H to face The Brothers of Destruction’s Undertaker and Kane.

On the latest edition of the “What Happened When” podcast, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone and co-host Conrad Thompson discussed WWE Crown Jewel 2018.

During the discussion, Thompson revealed that he heard that Shawn Michaels was paid $3 million for the aforementioned main event bout.

He said:

“I do think it’s interesting that this is Shawn Michaels’ last match. He got paid a fu*k ton of money here, millions of dollars. I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard he got like $3 million for this match. Like if that’s real, of course he had to wrestle again. Are you kidding?'”

This year’s edition of WWE Crown Jewel will be headlined by Roman Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Logan Paul.
