Team merch

By Scott Keith on 29 April 2016

Good morning, Scott –

How does the money for team merchandise get divided? Does Kofi get 33% for every New Day unicorn horn that’s sold?

For some reason, I can’t see Hogan sharing the same amount with V.K. Wallstreet for every NWO shirt that was moved, so I imagine there was a discrepancy there.

I’m pretty sure Rotundo wasn’t seeing any nWo money. Hogan, Hall and Nash would have been smart enough to put the trademark for that stuff into their own names, and I think Nash said he still gets a piece of it today.

As for stuff like the New Day horns, guys get varying percentages based on their contracts, so I’m guessing that Kofi would get a bigger slice than Xavier, for example, although most of the pie goes to WWE either way. It’s more like someone buys a unicorn horn and 90% goes to Vince, 5% to Kofi, 2.5% each to Big E and Woods from what I’ve seen of wrestler contracts. But literally everyone is different.
