Wrestling fans stunned after finding how much WWE stars were paid in 2006 as pay-slips for entire roster 'leaked'

Wrestling fans were shocked after finding out how much WWE stars were being paid all the way back in 2006.

Over the years, WWE have managed to capture fans' attention with star-studded rosters.

Back in 2006, known as the Ruthless Aggression Era, the likes of Triple H, The Undertaker, and John Cena were all involved with the company and were being paid a huge amount of money.

As reported by the Wrestle Feed, Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, was the highest paid star, taking home a salary of $2,013,000 and was allowed personal use of the company jet for a total of 10 times per year.

In addition, Triple H also reported had the perks of first class flight tickets, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation paid for every week.

After Triple H, The Undertaker was ranked second with a salary of $1,811,000.

Closely following The Undertaker was Cena, who had a reported salary of $1,743,000 and also had first class tickets and hotels paid for on a weekly basis.

The likes of Big Show, Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels were the other stars to have a salary of one million or more.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "Triple H really played the Game and won."

A second tweeted: "Undertaker, HHH & Cena were LIVING."

A third added: "Okay Shawn Michaels... Didn’t expect him to earn more than Randy but I get it."

Recently, WWE reportedly made cuts to their roster ahead of April's WrestleMania.

The likes of Duke Hudson, Sonya Deville, Cedric Alexander, Akam and Rezar (aka AOP), Blair Davenport, and Paul Ellering were all released as part of a massive overhaul.

Meanwhile, multiple outlets, including Wrestling INC, have claimed that the likes of Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Isla Dawn, and Giovanni Vinci have also been released by WWE.

Taking to social media, Alexander wrote: "Thank you for the last 8 1/2 years! Being a professional wrestler has been a dream of mine since I could form memories and I will continue to do so till the good Lord says otherwise."Confirming her departure, Dawn wrote on social media: "Here for a good time, not for a long time. See you in 90."

The '90' is in reference to the 90-day non-compete she'll have to adhere to before representing another organisation.

It's possible that as WrestleMania 41 gets closer, the WWE roster could change even more, meaning those competing between now and April will have to show their worth to Triple H and other WWE officials ahead of any other potential cuts.
