The following are the top ten highest-paid WWE Superstars in 2020: At WrestleMania 36, Braun Strowman earned his first world championship when he defeated Goldberg to win the Universal Championship. WWE did not act on Strowman's desire to capture a world championship a couple years back. So, he'll get a raise after all this time.
His salary is $750,000.
Strowman's wife makes $250,000. They have three children together. Their family is based in Florida.
Next is Brock Lesnar at $600,000. He is the only wrestler that earns more than $5 million per year. He is also the only wrestler who has ever held the Universal and WWE Championships at the same time.
Lesnar won't be defending either title at WrestleMania 36 because he will be fighting Paul Heyman at the event for the right to become the next UFC Champion. If Lesnar loses, he will drop down to number two on our list.
His wife makes $200,000. They have one child together. His family is based in Minnesota.
Next is John Cena at $500,000. He is one of the most popular wrestlers in the world and always draws big crowds. It doesn't hurt that he is the face of WWE's corporate division either.
As can be seen, Brock Lesnar tops the list of the most paid WWE wrestlers, followed by John Cena and Roman Reigns. The top three slots have remained the same for the previous few years, with Randy Orton and AJ Styles both retaining their positions. In 2012, Daniel Bryan became the first rookie to win the title, doing so at the time's biggest event, WrestleMania 28. He was subsequently awarded one million dollars, making him the first wrestler to ever receive such a prize.
Brock Lesnar has been the only person to appear on the list each year since its creation in 2015. This year, he is being rewarded for his role as Universal Champion, where he is currently wrestling Seth Rollins and Finn Balor.
The majority of these prizes were given out at major events during the year, with two exceptions. At the end of 2016, Daniel Bryan announced that he was leaving the company, setting up a match at WrestleMania 32 for his championship. Even though this was considered a special event, 2000 dollars was still given out to him at the ceremony held before the show started.
Another exception was made in 2018, when Kevin Owens won the Money In The Bank ladder match at a house show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As a result, he earned a future guaranteed shot at the WWE Championship at a special Sunday Night Raw.
