The WWE Universe is calling for the celebration, as we are only a few days away from hitting the biggest party of the Summer 2024. Like every other year, fans have been in their restless awaiting phase, wildly anticipating the probable surprise factors lying ahead. Among a set of high-stake rumored returns and segments, the one that has been single-handedly dominating the realm is Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. While we don’t know if the Big Dog can reclaim his looted kingdom and the top spot in his family from Solo Sikoa and his troops, he’s seated at the top elsewhere in the domain. Let’s dive deeper.

Apart from the storylines, hooks, and matches, fans show a keen interest in the big fat paychecks of the superstars. Although WWE involves a rigorous travel schedule, hectic training, and the desire to put one’s body on the line more often than not, the company handsomely paid those efforts off monetarily. Especially when it comes to a generational superstar like Roman Reigns who commenced a new era in the division, the company essentially treats him as an asset.

Now the question it begs: is the Tribal Chief the highest-paying wrestler in the company? The answer is gratifyingly yes. The Head of the Table underwent a lot in his personal and professional life to become the ultimate flex of the company. From being the driving force of Bloodline since its inception to holding the coveted WWE Universal Undisputed Championship for spanning over a historical 1300+ days, Reigns became a perpetual sensation of the wrestling Universal.

At Mania this year, however, The Big Dog dropped his world title to Cody Rhodes and went on a hiatus to regain his mojo. Solo Sikoa quickly took advantage of the situation by talking to the chair of the Bloodline. If Sikoa and his team (Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa) sustain their position in the family, The Tribal Chief will be replaced. But when it comes to the net worth, Reigns is still ahead.

As per recently released data, the Samona superstar leads a long list of 10 high-paying wrestlers with a lump sum of $15 million/year reimbursement. Cody Rhodes holds the second spot with a 10 million salary scale per annum.

That said, Reigns is not the richest wrestler.

Roman Reigns is not the richest in the industry

One who grabs the highest salary from the company and one who gathers the highest amount of money over the years are certainly different, even though they sound similar. Reigns is no doubt a money-maker both for himself and the global company he represents. His mere presence and mammoth star power enable WWE to pull excessive crowds every year.

During an interview, the 39-year-old noted that his father, the late Sika Anoa’i used to push him to make money his topmost priority always. But despite the zeal, he’s not the number one when it comes to the highest-earning WWE wrestler in 2023. As per 888sport.com, Brock Lesnar surpassed him closely, with a total of £4.03 million to stand first in the highest-earning fighter in the year 2023. Roman Reigns stands second with a whopping £4.02 million.
