WWE's 10 Biggest Money Performers In 2018
5. Brock Lesnar
'The Beast' apparently trousering $500,000 per pay-per-view and $100,000 every time he turns up on television makes him a significant money player in WWE - and not just because his new contract is currently one of the most topical.
Clearly in some sort of arrested development of late, McMahon's propensity for refilling his roster with the things he likes was most prevalent during a 10-bell salute for the late Bruno Sammartino on the Monday Night Raw following his death. McMahon was flanked by Bobby Lashley, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman - three men that would comfortably pass The Chairman's 'walking through an airport' test even if they look as though they'd potentially fail another sort.
Lesnar is one more monster for his collection, but currently the only one of the three that could objectively be considered a headline act. Through the company's own failings rather than Brock's overt success lately, the Universal Champion has remained in an alternative orbit to most of the main roster rank-and-file, Reigns included after their woeful pair of clashes in April. His aura remains magnetic to Vince at least, even if it isn't quite worth its weight in the gold being dished out.
