Roman Reigns is the face of WWE right now, and he has had that title for a while. Reigns was selected by WWE as the chosen one to lead the company into the future. He is the current WWE Universal Champion, and he is the longest-reigning Universal champion at that. Moreover, he is currently in the best run of his career and his stock keeps increasing day by day.

The Tribal Chief is at the top of the mountain when it comes to WWE. He has demolished any WWE Superstar who has tried to knock him down. In his current run, he has defeated some of the biggest names in wrestling, including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Seth Rollins. Furthermore, Reigns looks unstoppable and even though he faces significant challenges down his road to WrestleMania, he seems more confident than ever.

Roman Reigns is currently the highest-paid WWE Superstar, but he is not alone in that category. While other top WWE Superstars like Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and Becky Lynch make less than Roman, there is one wrestler on par with him. This WWE Superstar is none other than his rival, The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar also has a base salary of $5 million, which can significantly increase based on his appearances. Brock’s drawing power is one of the biggest reasons for his salary being on par with Reigns. While Reigns appears and competes much more often than Lesnar in WWE, Lesnar has a certain star power that makes him so valuable.
