Brock Lesnar confronted Roman Reigns at the end of SummerSlam 2021 (WWE)
Backstage information on how much the top WWE stars are making
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer has reported that Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar are making more than $5 million annually on their contracts, and another superstar who was not named yet makes close to $4 million annually.
Meltzer also noted that some other “top talent” earn $2 million and $3 million per year. He also reported last month that Reigns and Lesnar were the highest-paid superstars at the company with $5 million annually.
Reigns and Lesnar earning more than other superstars doesn’t come as a shock as they are the most popular superstars with the biggest fan-following and merchandise sales. Reigns are on the run of his life as the top star, and Lesnar has always been fantastic in the sports entertainment business.
The Bull Dog has been a fan-favourite, even being a heel throughout the year. The Universal Champion hasn’t lost a single title match, and his reign as a champion is getting stronger and stronger.
It was reported by WrestlingNews.co that Reigns has reached peak-level merchandising as that of John Cena’s sales irrespective of being a heel.
Cena was among the most known faces in the company during his decade-long career with WWE. He was the pushiest babyface for the majority of his run. However, the Tribal Chief surpassed Cena’s merchandise sales in three years. He started his run around 2015 and became the apparent successor of Cena.
