What is a Legends Contract in WWE?

The WWE Legends contract offers retired, legendary wrestlers, many of them WWE Hall of Famers, a way to stay connected to the business and generate income after their in-ring careers have ended. The Legends Contract provides a valuable opportunity for these iconic figures to leverage their past success.

Usually, Legends receive an upfront sum and royalties based on merchandise sales featuring their likeness and video game appearances where they are included. The contract also guarantees a minimum payment for guest appearances on shows like Raw, SmackDown, or short stints in storylines. However, some big names reportedly command higher fees. While not exclusive, the contract might have clauses granting WWE exclusive rights to the wrestler's image for certain uses like merchandise. Specific details are likely negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Not all legends with contracts appear regularly on television.
