All Elite Wrestling boasts a star-studded roster, brimming with legends like Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Adam Copeland, Bryan Danielson, and rising stars like MJF, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Will Ospreay, Samoa Joe, Hangman Page, and more.

But with big names come bigger budgets, as these icons draw crowds, boost merchandise sales, and drive up pay-per-view buys, engagement, and TV ratings.



Jericho, a pioneer who signed with AEW before they even secured a TV deal, stands out as the promotion's highest-paid grappler, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. This fact sparked discussion after Jericho put over rising star Konosuke Takeshita on Wednesday's Dynamite.

“I think he's the highest-paid guy in the company. He is the highest-paid guy in the company. And it's like, you really want to protect that investment if you're paying a guy that much money. I mean, you can get anyone to put over these guys. It's like you need to have him lose when the losses mean you know again, but it's great for Takeshita.”
