WWE is the highest-grossing wrestling company in the world. The company is one of the top-rated cable networks in the United States, and millions of fans regularly watch its shows.
The WWE has had a lot of success, but some wrestlers have made more money than others. Here are nine of the highest-paid WWE wrestlers:
9. Dolph Ziggler
Dolph Ziggler is one of the most talented wrestlers in the WWE. He has been with the company for over a decade, becoming one of its top stars.
Ziggler’s contract is up at the end of 2020, and he is expected to be one of the highest-paid wrestlers in 2022. Dolph’s current contract reportedly pays him $1 million per year, which is not bad, considering he is not the main event star or a part-time wrestler.
8. AJ Styles
AJ Styles is a perfect example of how much WWE wrestlers make. He has been in the business since 2002 and has been wrestling for both TNA Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling before signing with WWE in 2016.

7. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins has had a rough few years after undergoing surgeries on both knees that kept him out of action for two years straight between 2017 and 2019. But even though he’s been sidelined due to injury, The Kingslayer still managed to make millions of thanks to his lucrative contract with WWE that includes a hefty bonus if he wins another world title belt during his current run with the company
6. Randy Orton
Today, Randy Orton is one of the most popular and talented WWE superstars on the roster. He has a great look, an awesome wrestling style, and an amazing personality that makes him one of the most entertaining characters today.
