WWE Allegedly Offered Jazmyn Nyx Bigger Deal Before Her Exit And She Still Said No

Jazmyn Nyx’s WWE departure just got a major twist. The former Fatal Influence member had already revealed she turned down a $75,000 per year deal, but new information shows WWE upped the offer before she walked away.

According to Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez, the company presented Nyx with a higher number before she made her decision.

“I’m told Jazmyn’s original deal was $75,000 and her new offer which she turned down was approximately $98,000.”

Despite the significant raise, Nyx still chose to leave—fueling questions about WWE’s long-term plans for her. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp previously explained how WWE’s contract approach has shifted for developmental and undercard talent.

“I didn’t get a specific reasoning, outside of a hint that the contract would ‘start out’ at what they offered, and likely escalate… They’re certainly willing to let talent walk and replace them, especially anyone under the top levels.”

Nyx had been featured regularly on Tuesday nights and pushed back on claims she was being used solely as a manager or valet. On Snapchat, she gave her own insight into the decision.

“I was wrestling a lot the past couple months and a lot on main event matches so no I didn’t feel as if I was a manager/valet… I was getting a lot of great opportunities that I am very grateful [for].”

She also admitted the deal left her unsure about WWE’s vision for her future.

“I’m not sure what the future looked like for me and I was definitely willing to work hard to get there but I felt that there could of been uncertainty there for sure in terms of what they had planned for me in the future because of [the] offer.”

With these updated numbers out, Nyx’s choice highlights the challenges for rising talent in NXT who get TV time but don’t always feel secure about their standing—or their paychecks.
