PWInsider is reporting that former WWE NXT champion Drew McIntyre has been seen working out in the ring at the WWE Performance Center over the last several days, so he is coming closer to officially returning to action for that brand.
McIntyre suffered an arm injury that required surgery during the closing moments of his title loss to Andrade Almas in the Takeover: Wargames in Houston in November 2017.
PWInsider.com had been told that the timeline for McIntyre’s return was sometime in April. Obviously, returning for Wrestlemania weekend, when the next NXT Takeover is set, is the goal. It appears he is on his way to making it.
As part of today’s corporate filing announcing their 4/19 Stockholders Meeting in Stamford, CT, the following corporate salaries were released by the company.
WWE Chairman of the Board and CEO Vince McMahon – $1.4 million in 2017. That number is expected to remain the same in 2018.
WWE Co-President George Barrios – $783,510 in 2017. His salary for 2018 post-promotion will be $870,000.
WWE Co-President Michelle D. Wilson – $791,044 in 2017. Her salary for 2018 post-promotion will be $870,000.
WWE Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative Paul “Triple H” Levesque – $650,000 in 2017. His salary will raise to $684,000 in 2018.
WWE Executive Vice President, Production Kevin Dunn – $909,560 in 2017. His salary will rise to $925,000 in 2018.
These salaries do not include what those who perform on camera are paid, nor would they include what execs make via WWE stock dividend payouts.
In the case of those related to Vince McMahon, their performance salaries were also listed in the filing:
Stephanie McMahon was paid $2.2 million total between her role as Chief Brand Ambassador and her on camera role.
Triple H was paid an additional $1.5 million for his on camera role, which means he was paid almost double to be “Triple H” vs. what he made as Paul Levesque, WWE Executive.
Shane McMahon, who is not an executive for the company, was paid $1.3 million last year for his on camera role as Smackdown Commissioner.

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”
A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.
While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.
