WWE’s superstars are some of the most-famous faces on the planet – but how much do you earn?
The heavy workload of the talented 100-plus roster is well-known, with numerous weekly house shows included alongside their TV shows.
But now we can reveal what the talents of RAW and SmackDown Live pocket, according to figures published in the Mirror.
Brock Lesnar’s name will come as no surprise at the top of the male list.
The former UFC champ and current Universal Champion only works on limited dates throughout the year but nets just under £375k per main event and £75k from merchandise sales.
And that makes him, after bonuses, the company’s top earner on £9m-a-year.
Second in the list is the legendary John Cena with an annual salary of £6.37m. He is on the same main event package as The Beast and earns five per cent on his merch.
Roman Reigns has main evented the last four WrestleMania’s – but even that status only puts him third in the rankings with a cool pay packet of £3.75m.

Future Hall of Famer Randy Orton is up next with earnings of £3.37m and he is followed by WWE Champion AJ Styles on £2.62m.
Ronda Rousey’s arrival in WWE immediately put her top of the women’s division both in the ring and at the bank.

Even if she is unsuccessful in her championship bout with Nia Jax next month she will still get some comfort from her £1.12m base salary.
Charlotte Flair is next up for the females but earns less than half of what the UFC legend on £412k per year.
Nikki Bella, who has not competed since the Royal Rumble and has recently been in the headlines for her on/off relationship with John Cena, still rakes in £262k as does Alexa Bliss.
And three women, Mickie James, Brie Bella and Natalya, are joint-fifth in the list with an annual wage of £225k.
