WWE has the ability to fork over a lot of money for Superstars that they really want to keep around. A new list of highest earning Superstars is quite interesting to take a look at.
The Mirror has revealed a list of top Superstar contracts, and they covered a pretty wide gambit of Superstars. They listed Brock Lesnar’s $12 million contract all the way down to Liv Morgan’s $80,000. These are all likely downside guarantees, but it was not explicitly noted.
Lesnar was the highest earner on the list, but that number is prior to his WWE contract expiring. It still gives us a very good idea how much WWE will need to pay in order to get a new deal signed.
The top two earners on the list were Lesnar and John Cena, and Cena was making $8.5 million, but Roman Reigns is the first active full-time WWE Superstar with $5 million. It is very interesting that some names including Drew McIntyre, Edge, and Daniel Bryan are not included in The Mirror’s list.
You can check out the list below.
We’ll have to see how this list changes in 2021. It is notable that Ronda Rousey, who is no longer a full-time Superstar is the highest paid woman on the list. As of this writing, it’s anyone’s guess what her actual contract status is with the company.
