Also find out who is the highest-paid WWE star currently

WWE Superstars are highly popular, influential, charismatic, powerful and make a lot of money. It is believed that the WWE stars get paid more when compared to other major promotions. We have seen WWE stars, who work all day and night to earn a marginable salary, whereas few top stars just appear on a few occasions and earn more.

It is known that the salaries of stars are based on the impact they made in the industry and their potential to sell more box office tickets. So what is the minimum salary of a WWE Superstar in the main roster?

Minimum salary of a WWE Superstar

Dave Meltzer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that the minimum fixed salary of a WWE Superstar in the main roster is $350,000 USD per year. Meltzer wrote, “The current main roster minimum salary is $350,000 per year.” It is important to note that the minimum salary scale has been raised from $250,000 USD to $350,000 after the TKO Group Holdings takeover.

Wrestlers also get an additional pay based on their appearance in the weekly shows, live events and in the PLEs. They also generate funds from selling merchandise in WWE Shop, based on the popularity and influence of the wrestler.

On the other hand, based on Dave Meltzer’s old report NXT Stars minimum base salary is approximately $50,000 to $60,000 USD per year. However some major stars returning to NXT roster get paid high.

Roman Reigns is the next highest-paid superstar on the active roster with a contract close to $5 Million USD. Becky Lynch is the highest-paid Women’s Superstar in the active roster.
