This list is very wrong. Balor and Owens aren't making that much. Jey Uso making 7 mil a year??? Bullshit

Because the ranges in this list are wayy higher than the ranges multiple other sources have consistently reported.

Owens was around 3.5 million. Now suddenly he jumps to 7 million?

Also Roman at 15? This is just base salary we are talking. If he makes 15 million base, add merch, PLE bonuses and stuff and it will add up to 20 million. Common sense tells you that sounds very high.

Also Cody at 10 base? Add his big merch numbers, house show bonus etc, he will end up like 15 million total. Again too high it seems.

Just half the salaries reported in this, it will bring it in line with other reports. Means Owens and Jey make 3.5 million in base.

Cody makes 5 million base plus 3 million merch and other stuff, totalling about 8 million.

Roman 7 million base + 3 million other stuff =10 million. Cena like numbers. sounds about right.

Less than that. If you google Rhea Ripley base salary it comes back with reports of only 250k-350k. But she gets a piece of the merch sales in addition to base salary, as I think most wrestlers do.

From Google...

On the other hand, Mercedes Mone equalled Jericho's pay scale of $5 Million USD per annum upon signing her debut contract with AEW earlier this year. Mone is not just the highest-paid AEW star, but also the highest-paid women's wrestler in the pro-wrestling industry to date.

WWE: Swerves contract is bad for the industry, he's being paid way above his market value (comparable to Mercedes and Okada, 5 million and 4.5 million respectively) and Tony Khan is raising the salary cap too high.

Also WWE: Hey, Finn Balor, here's 7 million a year.

Get the fuck outta here if you believe this, lmao. And I can tell you if this was real, Finn Balor would not be making more money than Rhea Ripley, at least not if both were newly signed deals, and Rhea's alleged number here is higher than Mercedes who has been declared as the highest paid woman in wrestling history. Nowhere close to that. Not until her next deal comes up.

Punk is not making anywhere close to 8 million either because he has zero leverage.

If WWE salaries were this high, people wouldn't be running to Tony Khan.

This is exactly why Finn Balor is not a sidekick and had to point that out to Damian Priest this past week on RAW. A sidekick is not supposed to be making $7 million.

But wow, Main Event Jey Uso is making $7 million? You got to be kidding me!
