Does Roman Reigns earn more than Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar in WWE? Likely truth revealed
WWE is at its peak in terms of ticket and merch sales, as well as viewership, social media numbers, and sponsorships. The earnings of superstars have also increased immensely, especially for the company's prominent faces, including Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Brock Lesnar.
Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash reacted to Roman Reigns’ alleged WWE salary and shockingly revealed that it was more than the combined earnings of the entire 1993 roster when he used to perform. Big Daddy Cool revealed that Roman seemingly makes around $15 million.
“I saw a list, and I don't know how accurate it is or not, but it had the salaries of the top 10 salaries in the WWE, and Roman was at 15 million dollars, and I was talking to Hurricane, we were going back and forth,” Nash said. (H/T: Wrestling Inc.)
Given Nash's statement, many might wonder if Roman Reigns is making more money than other megastars in the company, including Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar. The answer is “Yes,” if what the WWE legend has claimed is true, as Rhodes' salary, as per the latest data, is around $3 million. Meanwhile, The Beast Incarnate’s base salary is approximately $12 million.
Roman Reigns may have a big match at the end of the month
The next premium live event WWE is set to host is Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. On the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Solo Sikoa challenged Roman Reigns to a WarGames match against his iteration of The Bloodline.
In the closing moments of the show, Sami Zayn finally picked his side by kicking Solo Sikoa in the face. SmackDown went off-air with Roman, Zayn, and The Usos pointing to the sky and seemingly completing their reunion.
With the way things are going, it seems as if the OG Bloodline will face the Solo-led Bloodline in the men's WarGames match at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 inside the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on November 30, 2024.
It will be interesting to see what unexpected twists the Stamford-based company has in store for the Bloodline saga.
