Stephanie McMahon's brother Shane McMahon makes it to #8 on the list of highest-paid WWE Superstars of 2020, mainly for his role as an on-screen character and performer. Shane had quite a few matches in 2019 and was paid a whopping $2.1 million as performance fees and royalties.

Shane worked predominantly as a heel in 2019, feuding with the likes of The Miz, Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns. He and The Miz won the SmackDown Tag Team titles at Royal Rumble 2019, defeating The Bar, before Shane turned on his tag team partner.

The Miz and Shane had an exciting match at WrestleMania 35, which was won by Shane, and he then briefly feuded with Roman Reigns, and wrestled The Big Dog at Super ShowDown.

Before he was written off from television in October 2019, Shane was in a personal and bitter feud with Kevin Owens, which ended with Owens winning the feud on SmackDown. Shane wrestled more in 2019 than in recent history, which probably resulted in him drawing such a big sum of money in 2019.
