Who Made the Latest Forbes List for Most Paid Wrestlers in WWE?

Forbes has released the list of WWE’s most paid wrestlers for the first time since their 2016 list. It also appears that Lesnar is no longer the highest paid, though that doesn’t factor in the new deal he just signed.

Shane McMahon is the only person from the 2016 list that wasn’t featured on this year’s listl He had made $2.2 million during that year after he faced The Undertaker at ‘WrestleMania 32.‘

Here are the top ten for 2017/2018:

10. Kevin Owens at $2 million

9. Dean Ambrose at $2.2 million

8. The Undertaker at $2.5 million

7. Seth Rollins at $2.7 million

6. Randy Orton at $2.9 million

5. Triple H at $3.2 million

4. AJ Styles at $3.5 million

3. Roman Reigns at $4.3 million

2. Brock Lesnar at $6.5 million

1. John Cena at $10 million

It is worth noting that Forbes estimates most WWE Superstars make an average of $500,000 per year before royalties and bonuses.

You can find a face-off between Cena and Lesnar from ‘Raw’ a few years back below.
