In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided some details about the salaries of two of the top stars in WWE today.
Meltzer first says that Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch are believed to be the two highest-paid women in the entire company.
He also says the rumor is that they are signed to $1 million guarantees:
Lynch and Flair are believed to be the two highest-paid women in the company, with the belief each signed a $1 million guarantee. There are a number of male wrestlers who earn more, including some who earn more just for appearing in Saudi Arabia like Lesnar and Goldberg as well as outside celebrities like Tyson Fury who earned more than that for one match. Edge just signed what was believed to be a $3 million per year three-year deal as a part-timer. The top male stars earn well upwards of $5 million per year.
My Take:
- For anybody confused, the $1 million figure is what both of them are guaranteed to earn. This number can typically increase with other things like merchandise sales and more. Great to see that Becky and Charlotte are getting paid and we hope to see these numbers rise for the rest of the women’s division.
