10 highest paid WWE wrestlers of 2018

#7 Seth Rollins

Monday Night Rollins is on a roll at the moment

Earnings: $2.7 million

Achievements in 2017: Beat Triple H at WrestleMania 33, RAW Tag-Team Champions (August-November, December-January 2018)

With $2.7 million earnings to his name, Seth "Freaking" Rollins enters the list at No. 7 position. After returning from a knee injury and facing Triple H at WrestleMania last year, Rollins has not looked back and became the most consistent performer of 2017.

One of the most loved wrestlers by the WWE fans, Rollins created history in February this year by wrestling for one hour and five minutes, the longest performance in RAW history, and defeating both Roman Reigns and Cena back to back.

After winning the Intercontinental Title and becoming a Grand Slam Champion at WrestleMania 34, things only seem uphill for The KingSlayer, and his earnings only look to get bigger.

#6 Randy Orton

Earnings: $2.9 million

Achievements in 2017: WWE Champion (April-May)

Randy Orton earned $2.9 million which puts him at No. 6 position. The 2017 Royal Rumble winner tied for the most pay-per-view appearances last year with 11.

After winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 33, Orton was poised to become the face of SmackDown but had an abrupt end as champion only a month later.

The Apex Predator currently wrestles as an upper mid-carder and recently completed his Grand Slam after winning the US Title at Fastlane.

2018 may be a turning point for Orton as his present babyface stint has become stale and unappealing.

WWE should turn him heel again preferably with the popular gimmick of The Legend Killer. Orton had the best run as a villain, and with an abundance of young talent around, a heel Orton would be best for business.
