Stephanie McMahon Salary: WWE Chief Brand Officer’s Earning Details
As you can see, Brock Lesnar stands top in the list of highest paid WWE wrestlers followed by John Cena and Roman Reigns. For the past couple of years, the top three spots remained the same while Randy Orton and AJ Styles have also managed to retain their respective spots.
Also, Ronda Rousey is still residing at the top of the highest paid WWE wrestlers in the female category. No one in regular names from the women’s division has earned the amount that she drew during her short WWE tenure.
It was noted that these salary numbers for the highest paid WWE wrestlers are a few years old (which could be the reason why Drew McIntyre or Braun Strowman isn’t present on the list). The amounts for the year 2020 seem a bit different while the rankings for the top full-time earners are probably still the same. Only the numbers put against them are different.
