10 Highest-Paid WWE Wrestlers Of 2021
9. The Miz - $2.5 Million
As this list progresses, it will become increasingly more obvious why certain talents seem to dominate WWE's weekly screen-time more than some of the other depressingly under-utilised world class workers they currently have on their books.
That's not to say that The Miz has absolutely nothing to offer in comparison to the likes of Finn Balor, Ricochet, and Sami Zayn. But his whopping $2.5 million yearly payday likely makes the idea of leaving him off TV for a week a much harder pill to swallow than going Prxnce-less for seven days.
It's not too difficult to see why the mighty Miz ranks so highly on the payroll, however, with his loudmouth promo style and in-ring presentation perfectly fitting the WWE mould, his loyalty to the company, and ability to cross-over into reality TV through his own show or even Dancing with the Stars all more than justifying WWE's willingness to send him home with a sizeable chunk of change per annum.
2021 also saw Miz become the first-ever two-time Grand Slam winner, picking up his second WWE Championship before getting dropped by Bobby Lashley a week or so later.
