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

3. Brock Lesnar - Currently $5 Million A Year

Speaking of Brock Lesnar, even at five million a year, he still has to be considered to be worthwhile money for WWE. If he wasn't, then they wouldn't have renewed his contract in March 2015. By positioning him as the main event of Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and a B Show special, WWE are in a strong position to make their investment back. Throw in Lesnar's impact on ratings and attendances, as well as his merchandise sales, and he is able to generate the sort of money needed to make him an important wrestler. He undoubtedly has the best deal in wrestling, and can thank UFC for helping to make him such a valuable commodity. He has what few others in WWE have, and that's mainstream credentials.
