11 Mind-Blowing WWE Wrestler Salaries That Were Worth The Money

4. John Cena - Currently $3 Million A Year

As WWE's franchise star, John Cena is making $3 million a year. But he has to work hard for that number, and has one of the busiest schedules of any wrestler on the planet. It isn't just the weekly wrestling, it is all the media, charity, corporate appearances and things like shooting commercials and Total Divas. He's the face of WWE, so he's everywhere. WWE gets value for money on him. You only have to look at his impact on attendances, television ratings, and PPV / Network subscriptions. When Cena is positioned as the star, WWE draws better business. His merchandise is especially proof of that, and has been the top selling range for years now. To put his worth into perspective, he earns two million less than Brock Lesnar, but works all of Brock's yearly dates in the space of one month. That said, he could be out-earning Brock by the time all of his yearly incomes are totalled.
