However, many claim that Becky Lynch is not the highest-paid superstar as the top wrestler in WWE gets $5 million per year.

Meltzer claimed that WWE legend Edge (who recently made a grand return at WWE Royal Rumble) signed a $3 million per year part-time deal with WWE. According to reports, WWE stars like Brock Lesnar and Goldberg earn even more as they are running the company right now. Celebrities like Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez too get an annual salary like a WWE superstar even though they just make an appearance.

“Edge just signed what was believed to be a $3 million per year three-year deal as a part-timer,” said Dave Meltzer.
