A new report from The Mirror claims to shed some light on how much WWE Superstars are paid and, well, it makes for very interesting reading indeed.
For starters, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is the company's highest-paid employee with a whopping $12 million a year (plus live event fees). John Cena is in second place with $8.5 million despite being a part-timer and then we have regular Superstars like Roman Reigns ($5 million), Randy Orton ($4.5 million), AJ Styles ($3.5 million), and Seth Rollins ($3 million).
Here's where things get a little more disappointing and disturbing, though.
The highest paid woman in the company is Ronda Rousey with $1.5 million and there's a big gap between her and Charlotte Flair ($550,000). Nikki Bella and Alexa Bliss are joint third with $350,000 and there's then a big leap down as Becky Lynch and Asuka are making only $250,000. As for The Riott Squad, they only walk away with an annual total of $80,000 each.
In contrast, male Superstars Apollo and Curt Hawkins (who don't perform on television even half as much) are making $300,000 and $200,000 respectively. Needless to say, despite all that talk of a Women's Revolution, it's not happening in regards to salaries...
