WWE Rumors: WWE Superstar salaries revealed including Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Ronda Rousey

What's the story?

The WWE Superstars are some of the most talented individuals in the world of pro-wrestling. They take every risk and put their bodies on the line as they seek to entertain the fans.

Be it inside the ring or via promo, each performance they deliver is aimed to leave the fans satisfied.

However, how much do these Superstars actually earn for all the efforts that they make to secure WWE's place at the top of the Sports Entertainment world?

According to a report, the WWE Superstars salaries have now been revealed.

In case you didn't know...

WWE Superstars are often thought to be really well paid. They perform on a regular basis throughout the year. They participate in not only the televised shows but also on the House Shows where they perform in front of a Live Audience instead of the cameras that they are used to performing in front of. They spend a large amount of their time on tour away from their families to have a career in WWE.

The heart of the matter

The figures which were revealed by WWE were astonishing, to say the least. The highest paid performer is Brock Lesnar, who makes $12 Million a year as a base salary, plus $500,000 per main event.

John Cena came next with a figure of $8.5 Million. A large part of his earnings come from Hollywood where he has made a foray. He has a $500,000 payment for main event appearances as well, and also has a 5% earning from Merchandise sales.

Ronda Rousey is on $1.5 Million Contract with WWE along with bonuses for her matches.
