#13 Annual base salary: $400,000-$550,000
This is the first category where career longevity seems to play a part in annual salaries, with Superstars including Fandango and Heath Slater earning as much as a high-profile name like Shinsuke Nakamura.
From a storyline perspective, Fandango and Slater have had sporadic spells of success over the last decade, but they have not featured anywhere near as much as Nakamura since the 2018 Royal Rumble winner debuted on WWE’s main roster in 2017.
Further down the list, Charlotte Flair is WWE’s highest-paid full-time female Superstar on $550,000, while all three members of The New Day earn a reported $500,000 each per year.
Just to reiterate, these salaries are only guaranteed amounts that Superstars are said to earn on an annual basis. Kofi Kingston, for example, will almost certainly earn more than Big E and Xavier Woods in 2019 due to his success as WWE Champion, and all three will receive extra income due to their merchandise sales.
