10 WWE Superstars who Vince McMahon may never release

#8. Brock Lesnar

While this one might seem like an obvious entry, it's important to take into note where WWE cuts costs. It's rumored that the releases throughout the staff saved WWE around $4 million, which is still lesser than Brock Lesnar's total salary.

He's among the highest-paid Superstars in WWE and over the years, he's received a lot of criticism for his part-time role and constantly occupying the top spot. These weren't decisions made by Lesnar and the reality is that he possibly has the best deal in all of WWE.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

While employees, including top executives, have supposedly taken a pay cut, we'd be interested to know if WWE requested the same from a Superstar of Brock Lesnar's caliber. We don't expect him to take a big pay cut.

WWE wouldn't be paying him as much as they do if they didn't feel as though they were getting a return. For that, along with his name value, he's one big name who may never have to worry about being released by WWE. If anything, WWE worries when he begins any negotiation with the UFC.
