The minimum wage for WWE talents on the main roster has been revealed.

Speaking to The Athletic in 2022, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque noted that wrestlers on the main roster earned at least $250,000 annually. WWE's minimum wage has risen since then, according to Fightful Select, and numerous talents have claimed the minimum pay on the main roster is now $350,000 per year.

WWE doesn't necessarily cover all expenses related to talent working for the company, however. WWE covers airfare for main roster talents but hotels and rental cars are typically paid for by the wrestlers, although each deal is different.

Another change to WWE pay in recent years has reportedly been that the company has introduced equal pay regardless of gender, with women being paid at the same level as WWE's male performers.

While the minimum main roster salary is $350,000, many talents earn well over that sum, with the likes of AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns earning over $3 million per year as of 2022.
