Seth Rollins $9 million

Seth Rollins's pay ascends in WWE from USD 3.5 million last year to USD 9 million this year, which demonstrates that he is a major resource for the company. The superstar's popularity was unaffected by the fact that he lost his WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40.

Randy Orton $10 million

The apex predator has not been able to win any WWE championship in the last four years, yet his stardom and charisma continuously rise. He has increased his numbers in WWE, rounding up USD 10 million contrasted with USD 4.5 million, he made a year ago. In addition, last year he was in the top 5, in 2024 he's in the top three.

Cody Rhodes $10 million

The American Nightmare suddenly arose as the show stealer in WWE in the last two years. When a protege of Randy Orton, Rhodes found his direction once he left the WWE in 2016, and got back in the saddle in 2022. Furthermore, what he is getting today in WWE, is his genuine worth. Additionally, like Drew McIntyre, he is new to the list, taking over for John Cena at number two after winning the WWE Championship. Rhodes has effectively been guarding his WWE title post WrestleMania 40, and it seems as though he's probably going to hold until WrestleMania 41 one year from now.

Roman Reigns $15 million

Roman Reigns has arrived at the highest point of the table in the previous year. Lesnar had the highest earnings in 2023, with USD 12 million, while The Big Dog came in third with USD 5 million. Nonetheless, Reigns brought down The Beast and he is no place on the rundown this year. Reigns' status as one of WWE's most prominent superstars today is further supported by his substantial earnings. He could as of now not be the WWE Undisputed Top dog today, however, the Clan leader is as yet the most sweltering product in WWE. The OTC has even outperformed his cousin, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's chart in WWE.
