I was just hanging out the other day, and I started wondering about how much those WWE wrestlers actually make. So, I decided to dig in and find out. Here’s what I did and what I discovered.
First Steps: Checking Out the Usual Spots
First, I hit up Google, just like anyone would. I typed in something like “WWE superstar salaries.” I found a bunch of articles and forum discussions, but nothing really solid.
Getting More Specific
Then, I thought maybe I should check out some specific wrestling news sites. I looked at places like Wrestling Observer Radio and a few others I’d heard about. These sites had some interesting bits, but they were mostly just guesses or rumors. One thing I did find was that a lot of people mentioned that athletes in other sports usually get about 50% of their team’s revenue, but not in WWE. That was a little surprising.
Finding Some Real Numbers
I kept looking around, and I found some articles that tried to list the top earners in WWE. These were based on reports and guesses about their salaries and net worth from 2023 to early 2024. It was cool to see some actual numbers, even if they weren’t 100% sure.
Putting It All Together
After looking at all this stuff, I started to get a better idea. It seems like the top WWE stars make a lot of money, but it’s still less than what stars in other sports make compared to their team’s revenue. I also found that most wrestlers make at least a six-figure salary, which isn’t too bad.
My Final Thoughts
- Digging for Info: It took some time to find anything close to real numbers.
- Comparing with Other Sports: WWE wrestlers seem to make less than athletes in other big sports, compared to their team’s revenue.
- Top Earners: The big names in WWE are definitely making good money.
- Overall Salaries: It looks like most wrestlers are doing okay, with many earning six figures.
So, that’s what I did to find out about WWE salaries. It was a fun little investigation, and I learned a lot along the way. It’s always interesting to see how much people make in different jobs, especially in something as big as WWE. Hope you found this as interesting as I did!
