When it comes to entertainment, some people enjoy watching soccer or ballet and others enjoy watching wrestling and adrenaline-pumped games. WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) is a professional wrestling company that offers non-stop entertainment for viewers. (Entertainment is in their name, so it must be fun and exciting to watch.)
The WWE wrestlers follow a choreographed performance that follows a gripping storyline. Even though the wrestling matches are mostly choreographed, the moves performed can be dangerous and cause severe injuries if not done correctly.

How much do the top wrestlers get paid with such a unique resume? Well, in short, much more than you would assume.
So, there are various forms of entertainment that people enjoy watching and even getting into themselves, like online gambling. Some people that enjoy getting involved in these games end up making a whole lot of money out of it.

Brock Lesnar is an American-Canadian professional wrestler who ranks top of the ten highest-paid WWE wrestlers. Lesnar first joined WWE in 2002 when he was still doing amateur wrestling in college.
When he made his debut in 2002, he won the King of the Ring tournament and won the WWE Title after beating the Rock. After this, he made the superstar wrestler rank as the youngest champion in WWE history.
Lesnar's robust stature and unwavering strength in the ring cannot be ignored. That is why he is the highest-paid wrestler with $15 million dollars. His career may have been attributed to his mixed martial art expertise and becoming a professional football player.
John Cena may come in second after Brock Lesnar on the list of highest-paid wrestlers, but Cena is one of the most famous wrestlers in the world. He has won the WWE title 16 times in his wrestling career in 2002.
Besides wrestling, John Cena took his experience in performance during wrestling to the screen, where he has appeared in a few blockbuster movies. Cena has also released a hit album and a best-selling book.
He first debuted a few decades ago when he beat the gold Olympic winner Kurt Angle during his first match. Since then, John Cena has been seen by many around the world, even if they refuse to do so.
Despite his ever-growing bank account, Cena is also set the record for the largest Make-A-Wish granter. Overall, John Cena has been representing WWE for the last two decades as a versatile character who doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon.
Roman Reigns is an American professional wrestler signed with WWE for SmackDown. His birth name is Leati Joseph Anoa?i, and he likes to go by the name "Joe". Reigns comes in third as the highest-paid wrestler with his relentless attitude and fearsome demeanour.
Reigns is known as a family man who cares deeply for his tribe, and anyone who harms him or his family members will feel his wrath. Growing up, Reigns was told that he would never accomplish his dreams.
So, when he joined WWE in 2010, Reigns was determined to prove everyone wrong, and he did so by smashing a few WWE superstars to proclaim his perseverance. Since then, Reigns has won the WWE Universal Championship twice and the WWE Championship three times.
Braun Strowman joined the WWE wrestling family in 2014 and has been able to rank as the fourth highest-paid wrestler since then. His wrestling name, The Titan, proves his excessive power in the match and a destroyer of all who attempts to compete against him.
Strowman's raw strengths include smashing Brock Lesnar through two tables, turning over an ambulance with Roman Reigns inside, and breaking the ring's canvas after superplexing Big Show.
His significant accomplishments in his wrestling career include winning the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36 and setting records during Royal Rumble matches. His unrelenting power is specifically seen when he doesn't give up even after the match has been declared over.
