5 Superstars and how much they earned when WWE signed them

#3 Ronda Rousey’s first WWE deal: $1.5m per year

Ronda Rousey is one of the most influential sportswomen of the last decade, so it is no surprise that WWE immediately made her the highest-paid female Superstar when she signed with the company in 2018.

After years of speculation about possibly swapping the octagon for the squared circle, “The Baddest Women on the Planet” appeared at the end of the 2018 Women’s Royal Rumble and pointed at the WrestleMania 34 sign.

It was confirmed later that day that she had signed a multi-year deal with WWE, reported to be worth $1.5 million per year.

In January 2019, Rousey’s WWE future was thrown into doubt after it was reported that she could leave the company after the event. WWE clarified that the former RAW Women’s Champion is under contract with the company until April 10, 2021, two weeks after WrestleMania 37.

Given that Rousey has not appeared on WWE television since April 2019, it is not known if her salary has changed in the second and third years of her contract.
