10 Big WWE Salaries That Necessitate A Constant Push

1. Brock Lesnar - $5,000,000

With a $5 million guarantee for working limited dates, Brock Lesnar has the best deal in the industry. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirmed that Brock got $5 million in his negotiations with WWE this past March. Vince McMahon doesn't normally pay such excessive rates, but his negotiations with Lesnar this past March were threatened by the UFC also being interested in taking back the big name star. Brock would have likely made $10 million a year in the UFC. Instead, he opted for the easier WWE option, with Vince coughing up five million to retain one of his biggest draws. That investment means Brock is guaranteed main event pushes. The only way to make the money back is to feature The Beast in main events at top shows like WrestleMania and SummerSlam. That's why he's beating the likes of The Undertaker and looking towards capturing the WWE Championship during 2016's WrestleMania season.
