WWE Salaries revealed: How much does your favourite WWE Superstar make in a year?

WWE Salaries revealed: How much does your favourite WWE Superstar make in a year? Find out what John Cena, Roman Reigns and Ronda Rousey earn.

The WWE is the largest wrestling promotion in the world. It is easily the most recognisable brand in wrestling with fans from all around the world. The athletes who put their body on the line on a daily basis, are what brings eyes to the product.

Whether it was Hulk Hogan in the 80’s, Stone Cold and The Rock in the 90’s or John Cena in the 2000’s, the promotion has regularly churned out larger than life characters who become superstars in the company and idols to the millions who love to watch them.

A very common thought that goes through a lot of people’s mind is what do these wrestlers earn. Having to wrestle 4 to 5 times a week with the constant travel and very little time to rest, are they being adequately compensated for their effort? Well that is for you to judge, while we put out the numbers in front of you.

Despite the recent surge in popularity of female wrestlers, the business is still largely male centric. It is therefore very natural to assume that the highest paid wrestlers will obviously be male. However, the pay gap becomes somewhat of an issue when you realise that Becky Lynch, arguably the most popular female wrestler right now, makes less than Titus O’ Neil, a man who has made a career out of slipping and falling.

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
