#1. Brock Lesnar

This is one that can often be beyond the realm of understanding. WWE is willing to pay Brock Lesnar a whole lot of money to do very little. Understandably, he's a big box office attraction and is treated that way, but even then, there hasn't been much to prove his drawing ability over the last few years.
Even so, with his lengthy Universal Championship runs and relatively short matches, seeing Brock Lesnar on television hasn't been as fun as it usually is. Either way, Vince McMahon is happy to pay Brock Lesnar a hefty sum to make a few appearances, and if All Elite Wrestling make a big money offer to Lesnar (and believe me, they have the money), WWE will waste no time in offering a higher number.
There's something about WWE and wanting Lesnar under contract that makes them pay him as much as they do. Some things, we'll never understand.
