Brock Lesnar is undoubtedly one of the most dominant pro wrestlers to have ever competed inside the squared circle. He had two tremendous runs in WWE, both of which resulted in him winning major World Championships and being a huge draw for fans. Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE television ever since he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 last year. Brock Lesnar was also previously called out by a Superstar from Monday Night RAW.
Brock Lesnar made his return at WWE SummerSlam and then appeared on a previous episode of Friday Night Smackdown and confronted Roman Reigns for a WWE Universal Championship match, which he eventually accepted.
The two were set to square off against each other at WWE Crown Jewel for the WWE Universal Championship on October 21st in Saudi Arabia. At the event, Brock Lesnar ended up losing the match after interference from The Usos and Roman Reigns using the WWE Universal Championship to hit Lesnar in the head.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Brock Lesnar earns $5 million a year, as well as Roman Reigns. On the other hand, other WWE Superstars are severely underpaid.
“These guys, your average guy on the roster — realistically — your average guy on the roster should be making in the range of $5 million — and there are guys who make $5 million there, but you can count them on one hand. You know your Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar — maybe you can count them on two fingers. I don’t think there’s anyone else making $5 million. There’s a couple people who are making over $3 million. The point is that they are getting underpaid — Vince McMahon thinks they’re overpaid.”
