In a recent interview as part of the Sports Media With Richard Deitsch podcast, WWE on-air talent Paul Heyman revealed that he signed a long-term agreement with the WWE in 2021.
“It was public knowledge that my contract came up last year and I kept it very close to the vest because I’m not one of those people that, A, want to negotiate in public and, B, I’m reading an awful lot lately about who signed for how long and for how much, and I just never want that to be me. This much I will say, I re-signed with WWE last year, it was a long-term agreement and they created a situation where I would have been a fool not to take them up on their offer, so I’m locked in for a while.
I do have outside projects just because I like to multi-task and I’m very ADD and I just can’t concentrate on one thing at a time ever in my life. I have carve-outs to allow me to do other projects, which is also to WWE’s benefit, because I’m locked in to WWE as well, so I’m always going to be, oh that WWE guy is doing this outside project and I would never do anything that would betray my deal with the WWE because they went out of their way to make sure that I was here. I’m happy, I’m locked in and we are mutually satisfied with each other’s contributions to the coffer.”
