Jazmyn Nyx leaves WWE NXT after rejecting a $75k renewal offer

Jazmyn Nyx has left WWE's NXT after rejecting a contract renewal she said did not meet her financial expectations, a decision that became public after she was written off television last week as part of a storyline that removed her from the Fatal Influence faction. Nyx announced her departure on social media and said she would consider returning if presented with a better offer.

WWE reportedly offered Nyx a multiyear deal with a base salary of about $75,000 per year. Nyx told followers she was unhappy with the terms and declined to re-sign. Some reports estimated her take-home pay was likely below $60,000 after taxes and expenses such as gear, though WWE has not publicly confirmed those figures. On Snapchat she said she was not done with wrestling and would be open to returning if the company improved its offer.

Booker T, a WWE Hall of Famer and NXT commentator, discussed Nyx’s decision on his Hall of Fame podcast, saying, "The money wasn't right," and adding that "75,000, these days, is not a lot of money to a lot of people." He said he respected her choice and pointed to Nyx's injury history and limited television exposure as factors that complicate contract negotiations....
