NEWS: John Cena, Brock Lesnar are WWE's Top Paid Wrestlers
NEWS: Forbes has released their annual list of top paid WWE wrestlers. John Cena tops the list with an annual salary of $9.5 million. Brock Lesnar comes in second on the list making a paltry $6 million per year, with very limited engagement. Forbes has the following to say in regard to this year's list topper, "Nobody comes close to catching the face that runs the place. Cena not only has the biggest base salary of any weekly performer, but he also blows away the competition when it comes to merchandise sales. Cena's earnings may soon be on the rise as he's begun to follow former colleague Dwayne “The Rock” John into a second act in Hollywood." Triple H, Randy Orton, and Seth Rollins round out the top 5 making $2.8 million, $2.7 million, and $2.4 million respectively. Undertaker was sixth on the list at $2 million annually; but, it should be noted is first if you base monies on actual in-ring appearances. No wrestler in the top 10 made under $1 million last year.
