Professional wrestlers in WWE are known as "superstars" because the company produces some of the biggest icons in sports entertainment. The biggest WWE athletes also tend to attract massive net worths. Just look at Hollywood movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. A former eight-time WWF/WWE champion, The Rock has become one of the most powerful celebrities in the world according to Forbes. He is also worth $65 million (£46.5 million). But what about the current crop of WWE superstars?  Forbes has released a list of the 10 highest-earners in WWE based on estimated earnings for 2017, including salary, cuts from WWE revenues, and each wrestler's own merchandise sales throughout that year. Here are the 10 highest-paid WWE stars in 2018, ranked by earnings in ascending order.

Kevin Owens — $2 million (£1.43 million).

He is also one of the busiest WWE athletes and was the second most active wrestler last year. Source: Forbes. 8. The Undertaker — $2.5 million (£1.79 million). The Undertaker has been around for almost three decades and is beloved for his spine-tingling ring entrances. He is a smash hit with WWE fans, which means he hardly has to wrestle to feature in the top 10 as his merchandise sales still earn him a pretty penny. Source: Forbes.
