Former WWE champ Brock Lesnar remains top of the highest-earning stars in the wrestling promotion with a hefty $10m salary.

The 43-year-old ex-UFC superstar was ahead of John Cena and Roman Reigns in the company's best-paid male stars in 2019.

And Forbes now reports that Lesnar, who dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36, has retained his status as the top earner in the company.

The 'Beast' signed his current deal "when AEW was rumoured but had yet to launch," according to David Bixenspan.

However, the Forbes writer has suggested that Lesnar will "surely see his guarantee rise even more when his deal is up for renewal."

Reigns came second with a $5m salary and fellow WWE star Randy Orton took the third spot on the list with $4.1m.
