10 highest paid WWE wrestlers of 2018

#9 Dean Ambrose

The Lunatic Fringe is currently out due to an injury

Earnings: $2.2 million

Achievements in 2017: Intercontinental Champion (Till June), RAW Tag-Team Champions (August-November)

Former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose took in around $2.2 million and came in at #9 position.

Currently sidelined due to a triceps injury, Ambrose had a pretty solid 2017 with him claiming a Triple Crown and Grand Slam championship last summer after defeating Cesaro and Sheamus with Seth Rollins at SummerSlam and winning the Tag-team Titles.

The Lunatic Fringe is one of the top fan-favourite performers on the roster, and his return in 2018 is sure to receive huge pops from the crowd.

A potential SHIELD reunion may be on the cards, and for Ambrose, the storyline possibilities are endless.

#8 The Undertaker

The Deadman defeated Cena at WrestleMania 34

Earnings: $2.5 million

Arguably the most famous name in the history of pro-wrestling, The Undertaker stood at No. 8 position with estimated earnings of $2.5 million.

Even at 53, Taker is still going strong with only a few appearances fetching him a cheque of this magnitude.

The star power of The Deadman is so high that a single appearance entitles him to a million-dollar figure.

2018 may even be a bigger year for Taker as after squashing John Cena at WrestleMania, his next endeavour includes a casket match with Rusev at The Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.

With multiple matches ahead, it is safe to say that The Undertaker is set to make far more money than last year.
