According to a report by Mirror UK, The Undertaker earn $2.5 million annually, even though he does not make more than a handful of appearances a year.

He competes only at WrestleMania, and at the Saudi Arabia shows, which have a whole different payday. The other part-time wrestler who earns a massive amount for very few appearances is Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar gets paid an incredible $12 million a year. He earns nearly $500,000 every time he shows up on RAW. Undertaker and Brock Lesnar’s salary could be substantial enough to fund an entire roster, but their contributions are immense. Taker and Brock are two of the biggest draws in professional wrestling.

The next part-time superstar who earns a credible amount is John Cena. The 16-time World Champion earns a whopping $8.5 million. The Cenation leader’s value has skyrocketed after his Hollywood career took off and his part-time schedule began.

Full-time wrestlers earn much lesser than the Undertaker

The full-time superstars of WWE earn significantly lesser than their part-time counterparts. The most experienced full-timer on the roster is Randy Orton. The 14-time World Champion earns a cool $4.5 million a year. Another veteran, AJ Styles, makes $3.5 million a year.

The newer crop of WWE superstars is also raking in quite a high salary. Roman Reigns boasts of a higher salary than Randy Orton at $5 million, while Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens stand at $3 million and $2 million, respectively.

Rounding off the millionaires’ list are The Miz, Bray Wyatt, Jeff Hardy, Sheamus, and Dolph Ziggler. Each of them earns between the range of $1 million and $2 million.
