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:

  1. Brock Lesnar: $10 million
  2. Roman Reigns: $5 million
  3. Randy Orton: $4.1 million
  4. Seth Rollins: $4 million
  5. Triple H: $3.3 million
  6. Becky Lynch: $3.1 million
  7. Bill Goldberg: $3 million
  8. Shane McMahon: $2.1 million
  9. Stephanie McMahon: $2 million
  10. Braun Strowman: $1.9 million
