The salaries of WWE Superstars are the stuff of dreams, with top-tier wrestlers raking in millions each year. But beneath the glitz and glamour lies a harsh reality—**the staggering income gap between male and female Superstars**. Despite their undeniable talent and dedication, female wrestlers continue to earn significantly less than their male counterparts, sparking **outrage and debate** among fans.
📉 **The Numbers Don’t Lie**:
– Not a **single** male Superstar in WWE’s top 10 earners makes **less than £1 million**.
– Meanwhile, only **two** women receive a six-figure salary.
– **Brock Lesnar**, a part-time competitor, wrestled just **three times in 2020**—yet he pocketed a jaw-dropping **£9.3 million**
– **John Cena**, who only had **one** match that year, still made **£6.6 million**, ranking as WWE’s second-highest earner.
– **Roman Reigns**, WWE’s Universal Champion, secures his place among the top earners, but **Drew McIntyre**, who carried WWE’s flagship show RAW in 2020, isn’t even in the top 10.
🔥 **Is This Justified or Pure Injustice?**
Some argue that men’s matches attract **higher ratings and revenue**, justifying the pay gap. Others believe that **female Superstars work just as hard, take the same risks, and deserve equal financial recognition**.
Adding fuel to the fire, WWE legends like **The Rock** have transitioned into Hollywood megastars, further highlighting the difference in financial opportunities. In 2018, **Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson** was named **the highest-paid actor in the world**, earning **a staggering $125 million in a single year**.
So, will WWE ever **close the gap** and give its female Superstars the pay they deserve? Or will this **controversy continue to overshadow the evolution of women’s wrestling**?
