These days, WWE wrestlers earn massive amounts of money. Some of the biggest icons in sports entertainment, WWE superstars earn millions from their salary, cuts from WWE revenue and sales of their merchandise. Forbes put together a ranking of the highest-earning wrestlers in the 2017 calendar year with John Cena in first place.

Cena has won 25 championships with 16 reigns as world champion. He is also the champion in the WWE’s money league by a long distance, taking home $10 million last year. Brock Lesnar came second with $6.5 million while Roman Reigns came in third with $4.3 million.

Will the Sanchez Deal Prove Toxic for Man Utd?

Professional footballers receive massive wage packets and those plying their trade at Manchester United are obviously no exception. Alexis Sanchez has just sealed a lucrative switch from Arsenal to the Red Devils and according to media reports, the Chilean superstar is going to be the club’s highest earner by a considerable distance. Those reports claim the Chilean will get a whopping £450,000 a week in exchange for his services.

Unsurprisingly, your Pogbas and your Lukakus have something to say about that. Reports earlier this week claimed that Paul Pogba in particular was livid with the fact that Sanchez is set to earn more than Lukaku and De Gea combined with sources claiming the French midfielder demanded a vast increase in his weekly salary. Even though it looks like the former Gunner will be laughing all the way to the bank, his transfer could conceivably create a toxic atmosphere in the United dressing room. It’s a funny old game, isn’t it?
