Brock Lesnar has claimed the top spot on Forbes' list of the highest-paid WWE Superstars.
The 42-year-old led all active wrestlers with an income of $10 million - double that of the second-highest paid star, Roman Reigns. The list was compiled using wrestlers' baseline income, known as a "downside guarantee," along with performance fees and merchandise sales.
Becky Lynch made history as the first woman to be included on the list strictly as a wrestler. Stephanie McMahon previously made the list based on her income as an executive and performer.
Here's the complete top 10:
- Brock Lesnar: $10 million
- Roman Reigns: $5 million
- Randy Orton: $4.1 million
- Seth Rollins: $4 million
- Triple H: $3.3 million
