Who makes the most money in WWE? This is a common question that many wrestling fans have. WWE is unlike other sports where the players salaries are public knowledge. Forbes recently released an article that reveals a list of 2017 WWE Salaries.
The list details the 10 highest-paid wrestlers in the company. It features a lot of names that you would expect and some that you might not. Here is the top 10 list of 2017 WWE salaries:
1) Brock Lesnar – $12 million
2) John Cena – $8 million
3) Triple H – $3.8 million**
4) Roman Reigns – $3.5 million
5) Dean Ambrose – $2.7 million
6) AJ Styles – $2.4 million

7) Shane McMahon – $2.2 million
8) Undertaker – $2 million
9) Seth Rollins – $2 million
10) Randy Orton – $1.9 million
** 1.3 million of Triple H’s salary is from his work as an executive.
Some pretty interesting ones here. Did NOT expect AJ Styles to be that high in his first year with the company. It is also insane how much money Brock Lesnar makes.
With the amount of progress made in Women’s Wrestling over the past year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Charlotte or another top female join this list next year.
Let us know what you think in the comment section below. Did any of these surprise you? Who do you think deserves to be on this list that isn’t??
