Despite being a top WWE star, Reigns’ salary is surprisingly low compared to a legendary wrestler. In the context of WWE salaries, this is definitely a matter of disparity in earnings.

Roman Reigns Has a Surprisingly Lower WWE Salary Compared to One Legendary Wrestler

Roman Reigns is regarded as one of the best active professionals globally. The Tribal Chief is truly unstoppable and will continue to break records.

And now his rumors being for at least one major match on The Road to WrestleMania 40 are spiraling. Even after being regarded as the best in his industry, his salary is significantly lower compared to a legendary wrestler.

Per Celebrity Net Worth, Roman Reigns has a net worth of about $14 million. Over the past few years, he has been presented as the primary representative of WWE.

Per Give Me Sport, Reigns makes around $5 million a year from WWE. But the professional (who’s above him) Brock Lesnar earns $7 million more than him ((a total of $12 million).

The Beast Incarnate accumulated all of his wealth from the majority of his sponsorships, and salaries from—WWE, NJPW, and even UFC. Lesnar currently earns a $12 million annual salary from WWE, and also an extra $500k from any headliner appearance.

Will Roman Reigns Make a Comeback Soon?

The Rock and Roman Reigns

As reported by The West Australian local officials in Perth, Western Australia, pitched to bring Dwayne Johnson to the WWE Elimination Chamber PLE on February 24. WWE’s response to the pitch remains redacted in tourism department emails. An excerpt from the article reads:

“What ability does the host have to dictate key talent to participate in a standalone premium live event? For example, could we aim to secure alumni such as Dwayne Johnson?” Tourism WA staff asked. WWE’s response was redacted.”

A report by BWE suggests that if The Great One accepts the deal for the WWE Elimination Chamber in Perth, it could set the stage for the long-anticipated Rock vs. Reigns match. Though, the Rock vs. Reigns match is not yet confirmed.
