She didn't work Grand Slam. But the person that beat her worked a random-rear end mixed tag against some jobbers for some reason!

Her last match was in front of...

Yeah, 2,600 people. And it was on Rampage, so. Probably significantly less by that point.

I'd be shocked if she wanted to work Grand Slam and Tony pushed the match to the next week.

Okay.

I'm not sure what that means or what Grand Slam has to do with anything, but. Okay.

It is still and will be increasingly funny/depressing how one of the main reasons I should be happy to see XY person in WWE is... that they get paid. Woooo, gotta watch Blood in the Sand PPV, my favourite sports entertainer might be able to afford a new car off of it!

People don't actually think Jade is getting the NXT treatment do they?

She signed a main roster deal, not a dev deal

And not a low end main roster deal either, S.O.M level

I could definitely see them putting her on NXT briefly, especially if the program is one with Becky. Because that would likely mean she still works Raw anyway.

Especially as, in this particular case, the person has straight up gone on record as saying that they don't even need the money, because they're already well off to begin with

I think at least with how visible WWE is, on ESPN and the like, it could afford a lot of other opportunities for Jade.

Like maybe starring in a Marvel movie or whatever.

idk i think the posters point was more, it is weird to be 'happy for' a person because they're making more money in The Fed; a critique of the parasocial tendency of the wrestle-minded. Like a wrestler, hate a wrestler, either way you're a loving scumbag in my book.

I'm just saying that when someone gets a big money contract and they themselves go "I don't need the money anyways, I'm already independently wealthy", I'm not gonna go "wooo get that bag" like I would for an indie worker for whom actually getting a steady check is a life-changing thing

I mean it's weird to be "happy for" anyone for making more money unless it's yourself. making GBS threads on Jade for taking more money is weird too though. It's her job. Even people who were willing to take less money like Danielson didn't go start wrestling in high school gyms again, he went to a company that could afford what he was worth even if it was less than what he would have gotten in WWE

Maybe it was crossed wires or something but it seems like some people want to condemn Jade for making more money at a company that even AEW only fans will largely admit books women better

It's this, but scratch the bolded part.

To be clear, I have no investment in Jade in AEW or anywhere else. I am commenting on a weird and disturbing trend that has lead to one of the few laudable aspects of being employed by the WWE as being paid, as if it was my moral obligation as a fan to give a poo poo what a performer earns.
