11 WWE Superstars Who Were Given Huge Contracts

By Andrew Pollard /

3. Brock Lesnar

At the point of writing this list, Brock was initially going to be right at the very top of the pile. As it happens, he€™s coming in at number 3. Lesnar€™s recent 2-year contract saw him take home $2 million a year for a very limited schedule, wrestling just a handful of times over each year. He also received a slice of merchandise sales, a share of PPV revenue and also had all of his travel covered. Brock signed a new deal a week before Wrestlemania 31. Whilst the specifics of this new contract have yet to be revealed, Lesnar himself has said that the new deal was simply too good to turn down, prompting many to speculate this his new agreement is even more lucrative that his previous one. If you ask many wrestling fans, the WWE should pay Brock Lesnar whatever it takes to get him on TV and PPVs as often as is possible. The Beast has shown recently just how much of an attraction he is, and this is even further highlighted during his €œbreaks€ from the product. Lesnar is truly unique and Vince McMahon knows this. As such, Lesnar is one of those few rare performers who holds all of the cards when it comes to negotiations with Vince and so can command a contract so few others can.
