10 WWE Wrestlers With The Biggest Salaries 2015

3. Triple H - $2.8 Million

As both a performer and an executive, Triple H is in a unique position with WWE.

His booking contract involves a million dollar base salary, and Forbes reports he made $700,000 in bonus royalties. That likely stems from his WrestleMania 31 match with Sting, which was one of the biggest bouts on that card.

The rest of his earnings are from his business role, where he has established himself as a success in the role of Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative. In particular, his work with the NXT brand has been celebrated by the internet wrestling community.
