Wrestlemania 41, the latest issue of WWE’s biggest event of the year, is almost here.
In April, the two-part showcase will go to the Allegiant Stadium of Las Vegas, such as John Cena and Cody Rhodes one of the evenings on the head of the evenings, with more top names to confirm Including CM Punk, Roman Reigns and possibly Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Such a seismic event, which can be the largest this year due to a new Netflix agreement, means big money for the flagship business of Professional-Wrestling. And big money for the artists, undoubtedly, but how much will WWE stars earn?
Below we look at the kind of money the athletes can earn at Wrestlemania 41.
Here’s all you need to know.
When is Wrestlemania 41 and how can I watch it?
Wrestlemania became a two-night event in 2020, and this year it will take place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 April at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. In the US, every night of action starts at 16:00 pt / 18:00 CT / 19:00 et. In the UK it works on Sunday and Monday morning until 12:00.
Wrestlemania 41 will stream directly on Netflix in the UK and most areas worldwide, as part of the existing plans of subscribers (with no extra costs, in other words). In the US, however, the event will come alive on Peacock Pay-View.
In January, all the WWE shows began to flock directly on Netflix in the UK and most areas worldwide; in the US, every display except Smackdown (which stays on the USA network) is also broadcast on Netflix.
How many earn wwe stars?
The details of WWE contracts have long been difficult to determine. However, WWE-stared executive Triple H (real name Paul Levesque) told the athletics in 2022 that $ 250,000 is the minimum base salary for wrestlers in the business. This figure may have risen since then and it has reportedly only on members of the Smackdown and Raw Roosters – not wrestlers on Nxwhich is WWE’s development show.
However, the wages of wrestlers are increased by trading sales, and it is also believed by cutting-per-see sales. Of course, trading sales are likely to be significant on a Wrestlemania weekend, as well as pay-per-see sales, so April 19 and 20 can be the most profitable days of the year for most WWE wrestlers.
In 2023, the mirror reported of the highest WWE wages: Roman claims $ 5 million a year; Randy Orton $ 5 million a year; Seth Rollins $ 3.5 million a year; Cody Rhodes $ 3 million a year; Logan Paul $ 2 million a year. These figures reportedly do not contain bonuses.

Will the rock compete?
Last year, the rock competed 1 main event of Wrestlemania 40, along with Roman Reigns to beat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. He also interfered with 2 main event at night: Reigns vs Rhodes. He is not advertised this year, but expects him to appear in a certain capacity.
Why is John Cena a ‘bad guy’?
In pro -wrestling is called ‘good’ characters ‘babyaces’ and ‘bad’ characters are ‘heels’. Cena spent most of his career as Babyface, after he was a heel wax to the elimination room event in the early mid-2000s, where he attacked Rhodes and teamed up with the rock. It is part of a storyline in which Cena is desperate to win a record-17th World Championship during his final year as a pro-wrestler. Rhodes is the largest Babyface of WWE, while The Rock is a heel authority figure, given the actual position of Dwayne Johnson in the TKO board (WWE’s ownership group).
