#5 Triple H - $3.3 million (includes executive pay)
Trending
Triple H, the creative genius behind NXT, as well as one of the best wrestlers of his generation, has a big role to play in WWE, behind the scenes as well as in the ring. He earned $3.3 million in 2019 which includes executive pay. Triple H was paid over $2 million as performance fees and royalties while being paid a salary of $706,019 and stock worth $502,146.
The Game had just two matches (apart from two house show matches in Japan) in 2019 - one against his former Evolution partner Batista, at WrestleMania 35, and the other against another Evolution partner Randy Orton, at Super ShowDown. He won the match against Batista, which was a No Holds Barred match, while he lost the match against Orton in Saudi Arabia.
We may not see him compete more in the ring as he recently revealed to ESPN that it was hectic backstage for him.
"Right now, I’m a full-time office guy. It’s funny, ironically I wasn’t scheduled to be in this year’s WrestleMania anyways. Every year as time goes by, it gets more and more hectic for me. Getting in the ring just becomes an added burden.”
