On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, veteran journalist Dave Meltzer reported that almost every wrestler in WWE is underpaid, but Vince McMahon thinks the opposite. He also revealed that only Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar make $5 million per year and a few others make $3 million.
"On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer indicated that every wrestler in WWE is underpaid because only about 8% of WWE's total revenue is paid to the wrestlers.
