The WWE Evolution show drew an attendance of roughly 8,351 people. The average ticket range for a show like that goes for 200-400 bucks which means they basically could've made between 1.5-3 mil off that show, let's say they made 3 mil.Excluding the Battle Royal, about 20 ladies worked that show. Let's redistribute that 3 million dollar gate and divide it amongst the 20 ladies who worked Evolution, if you divided 3 million dollars and redistributed that money to the 20 ladies who worked that show, each performer would get 150k based on their drawing power and value as a performer. From a business perspective, would you consider that a successful "revolution"? Cause it's fucking not when you consider how much it COSTS to even put on the show.
They don't share the gate anymore like the old days, only certain talent have that in their contract, and it is per appearance on PPV or PLE, not share of gate. They also have money from fan events and signings, then merch money, then PPV and PLE distribution deals (PPV is still sold in certain places), then they have ad and sponsor money, then they have the intangible of how much the event adds to the value of their programming on whatever providers they run on, then you have the intangible of how much the event earns on social media and being in their library for the rest of their existence.
