Report: WWE's Top Earners Revealed
Big money
Feb 25, 2022
AJ Styles recently extended his tenure with WWE and the 44-year-old will remain with the company for the foreseeable future on a new "big-money" multi-year deal that will see him earn "well over" $3 million per year.
The new contract makes Styles one of WWE's top earners, but he isn't quite at the top of the list.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the highest-paid talents in WWE are Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Ronda Rousey and Randy Orton. How much Rousey and Orton earn is unknown but Lesnar and Reigns are on deals worth in excess of $5 million per year.
Below the top four are Edge, The Miz and previously Goldberg before his WWE deal expired. Styles is believed to be on similar money to these talents due to his new contract.
The next highest earner after the aforementioned eight Superstars is Kevin Owens. The former Universal Champion re-signed with WWE on a three-year deal worth between $2 million and $3 million per year in late 2021.
