Part-timers

Superstar Salary Bonus

Brock Lesnar $6,000,000 Merchandise, PPV, Private Jet Usage and Accommodation
The Rock $3,500,000 Merchandise and PPV
Triple H $2,800,000 Private Jet Usage, Merchandise, PPV and Accommodation
The Undertaker $2,200,000 Merchandise, PPV, Travel and Accommodation

Even though these are ballpark figures, they are helpful to surmise the value of these Superstars to the company. John Cena sits on the top of the ladder as the highest-grossing WWE Superstar. He is also the highest earner amongst the full-timers.

Brock Lesnar pockets the most amongst the part-timers. According to a Forbes report, WWE spends nearly 2/3rd of its total Superstars’ salaries, just to pay John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Long-tenured Superstars such as Mark Henry, Kane and Big Show, have sizeable downside guarantees.

Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens are on the cusp of the seven-figure territory. Mid-carders’ and lower-carders’ salaries, easily reflect their position within the company.

Nope. You'd think they would have better business acumen and negotiation skills when doing their contracts.

Damn Zigg got a nice package for someone that is so underused all the time.

Also, Randy Orton is known to have his own tour bus.  Jacked out and rigged up with small exercise area and gaming center.

Don't forget, although you may not see them on Raw or Smackdown, that doesn't mean they aren't on the third card (pre-match) or on a house show loop somewhere.
