Sami Zayn is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand. His real name is Rami Sebei and was born on July 12, 1984. Zayn’s career began in 2002 on the independent circuit, where he garnered international acclaim under the masked persona of El Generico. Known for his high-flying maneuvers and signature "Olé!" chant, El Generico became a fan favorite in promotions like Ring of Honor (ROH). Upon entering WWE, Sebei shed the mask and became Sami Zayn.

He reached the pinnacle of the developmental brand by capturing the NXT Championship in 2014. His main roster debut in 2015 marked the beginning of his journey as a consistent championship contender. He is a four-time Intercontinental Champion. Besides his individual success, Zayn is also a one-time Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion.

As per various reports, Sami Zayn makes around $500,000 per year from WWE. The exact details of his contract’s financial structure are not known. His status as a multi-time champion and established character suggests he is likely among the highest-paid wrestlers on the Raw brand. Zayn’s current salary is way more than the $39,000 paycheck he received upon first joining WWE in 2013.

How much does Sami Zayn make in a minute?

Sami Zayn’s reported annual salary of $500,000 brings his per-minute income to 95 cents. This is a significant simplification. It assumes a constant income throughout the year, which isn't how WWE wrestlers typically earn. Bonuses, merchandise sales royalties, and pay-per-view appearances are not factored in, potentially underestimating his actual earnings per minute.

This figure also doesn't take into account the amount of work actually performed each minute. Wrestlers like Sami Zayn likely train extensively outside of scheduled events, travel considerably and fulfill promotional obligations. This additional work isn't reflected in this simplified calculation. Further, this also includes the hours Zayn spent resting, or sleeping.

Sami Zayn Career Earning

Sami Zayn's exact career earnings are not public. WWE wrestler contracts are notoriously complex, with base salaries being just one piece of the financial puzzle. Various sources estimate Sami Zayn's net worth to be around $2 million. While this figure is not the same as career earnings, his net worth suggests a comfortable financial standing.

What are the terms of Sami Zayn’s Contract?

Reports surfaced in late 2021 that Zayn was nearing the end of his previous contract. However, news broke in early 2022 that he had re-signed with WWE for a multi-year deal. While the exact terms of the contract haven't been made public, some speculation suggests the deal might expire sometime in 2024. Details regarding Sami Zayn's contract, such as base salary, potential bonuses, and any non-compete clauses, are not available to the public. WWE typically keeps such information confidential.

When does Sami Zayn’s contract expire with WWE?

Sami Zayn’s WWE contract is rumored to expire in 2024.

Sami Zayn Contract History

Sami Zayn’s current WWE contract is rumored to be signed in 2022. Under his current contract, the multi-time Intercontinental Champion makes around half-a-million dollar annually. Not many details are known of his previous contracts with WWE. During his time in the independent circuit as El Generico, Zayn made as high as $100,000 back in 2012. He joined WWE in 2013 and was offered $39,000, which was less than half of what the wrestler made outside the company. However, he joined WWE for a bright future prospect and it is safe to say that the gamble has paid off.
