WWE has gone to extraordinary lengths to maintain its status as the premier wrestling promotion on a global scale. The highest-paid superstars in the company have propelled the sports entertainment juggernaut to new heights and have proved their worth over a period of several years.
Several wrestlers are known for their longevity on the road and for also becoming household names. Superstars such as Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Brock Lesnar are big enough draws that they deserve a hefty paycheck.
This article will look at the earnings of some of WWE's top names. Look at these five superstars earning over a million dollars a year.
#5: With an annual salary of $3.12 million, Becky Lynch is the highest-paid female WWE star
Becky Lynch was one of the women who took part in the Women's Revolution and eventually made it to the main roster. Since then, she has never stopped putting in the work required to succeed in the wrestling industry.
With her ascent to the WrestleMania 35 main event against Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey, Lynch has amassed a tremendous fortune throughout her stay in the company.
Lynch currently holds the top spot on the list of the highest-paid female stars in 2023 because of her reported pay of over three million dollars.
#4. Seth Rollins - $3.5 million
The Monday Night Messiah was simply not a catchphrase for the WWE Universe, as Seth Rollins has practically carried the show. His compensation is guaranteed to be higher because he is the backbone of Monday Night RAW. The fact that he has been performing nonstop is obviously a contributing factor to his income.
He is one of the most well-known professional wrestlers in the world and is a top draw for World Wrestling Entertainment.
His dedication to the craft is immense, and has been one of the role models for younger wrestlers. This has quite rightfully made him deserving of the 3.5 million dollars he earns yearly.
#3. Randy Orton - $4 million
The Viper has always been one of the most entertaining performers, and his matches are consistently thrilling to watch. With an annual salary of $4 million, Randy Orton has been one of the biggest names in the company for 20-plus years.
WWE seemingly decided to extend his contract in 2019, keeping him around until 2024. Despite missing significant time due to a career-threatening back injury, the sum remains unchanged.
If you were to compile a list of all of Randy Orton's accomplishments in WWE throughout the years, it would be much easier to make a list of all of the things that The Viper has not done. Without a doubt, the 14-time world champion has earned every cent of his millions in the company.
#2. Roman Reigns - $5.02 million
The addition of Roman Reigns to this list shouldn't come as much of a surprise, given he has been the hottest performer in the company for several years.
Despite being promoted as WWE's top star since 2015, Roman Reigns didn't reach his full potential as a main eventer until 2020. Since Payback 2020, he has been the Universal Champion and is set to reach 1000 days as champion on May 27. The Tribal Chief is the reigning undisputed world champion.
He is also a big merch mover for the promotion and a massive draw in any part of the world. He receives a stunning annual salary of $5.02 million.
Reigns is looking to add more gold to his collection and will team up with Solo Sikoa to vie for the undisputed tag team titles at Night of Champions.
#1. Brock Lesnar - $5.04 million
There is arguably not a shred of doubt in anyone's mind that Brock Lesnar is at the very top of the list of the highest-paid WWE Superstars. Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer recently revealed the earnings of key stars in the year 2023.
Lesnar quite rightfully tops the list, as he is regarded as one of the hottest draws in the world of combat sports. After amassing major success during his first stint with WWE and then with UFC before returning to the sports entertainment juggernaut, Lesnar is one of the biggest draws and a must-see when he is on television.
It was revealed that Lesnar receives a guaranteed annual salary of $5 million alongside added incentives.
