5 top WWE superstars who have influence over Vince McMahon

#1. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar has an incredible amount of influence over WWE and UFC

Hulk Hogan may have had a lot of say creatively, financially and otherwise during his time, but we need to remember that it was a different era altogether. When talking about current WWE superstars who have influence over Vince McMahon, the number one name is Brock Lesnar.

Somehow, whether it's due to not wanting him to go to UFC or simply seeing him as that valuable, Vince McMahon pays Brock Lesnar an insane amount of money to do incredibly less work.

Naturally, that boils down to Lesnar's negotiation skills (which is clearly top notch), but his legitimacy and overall star power has seen Lesnar hold not one, but two companies at the palm of his hands.

He signs short-term contracts because he uses both companies' offers to leverage and get the best deal for himself. He even managed to convince McMahon to let him fight at UFC 200 after beating him in an arm wrestling contest!
