Top 10 highest earning WWE superstars of 2015

Randy Orton - $1.6 million

WWE was high on Randy Orton ever since he set foot in the main roster. A lot of it had to do with his family background and the solid work that Orton produced in OVW. The Viper went from one success story to another and soon established himself as a major player in the WWE roster.

This main event status lets Orton earn an amount of $1.6 million per year along with the travel and accommodation expenses. Being a big name, Orton is also paid a good chunk of his merchandise sales and gets extra bonuses for the pay-per-views he competes in.

Brock Lesnar - $2 million

Now this is the amount that Lesnar earned during his last contract with the WWE. This contract expired back in March and WWE reportedly offered Lesnar a better package so that they could keep him rooted in the company. And to understand the gravity of his new undisclosed deal; let’s take a look at his expired one shall we?

Annual base salary of $2 million, free travel and accommodation, a share of the merchandise sales and also a share of the pay-per-view buys.

And the best part for Lesnar in all these is that he only has to show up a handful of times in the twelve-month time frame and still gets the same amount.
