3 WWE wrestlers who make way more money than you expect and 2 way less

#2 Way More: Jinder Mahal - $900,000/per year

Jinder Mahal has not only rose to the top of the card on-screen in WWE, but also paycheck wise as well

Not only has Jinder Mahal risen from a "bottom of the barrel" position in the WWE's pecking order to an upper mid-card or low main event level performer on-screen, but he has apparently done so paycheck-wise as well considering "The Modern Day Maharaja" is reportedly earning a handsome salary of $900,000 per year plus bonuses.

Although Jinder does in fact have a lengthy WWE Championship reign under his belt, prior to his fluke title win, Mahal was nothing more than a filler talent who was earning the bare minimum in WWE.

Despite the fact that many fans give Jinder Mahal a hard time for not being "up to par" with other top-tier wrestlers in the company, Mahal is definitely a phenomenal heel, and it is inspiring to see someone rise to heights that were seemingly impossible just over a year ago. It is very clear that Vince McMahon is still high on Jinder if he's making just shy of 1 million dollars, so do not be surprised if Mahal is back in the title hunt sooner rather than later...
