WWE superstars train for years, work across the globe and put their bodies on the line, all in the name of entertainment.
But just how much do WWE talents get paid to get into the ring?
Wrestling's highest-calibre athletes take home a significant base wage, but also benefit from a percentage of merchandise sales.
The lifestyle is not all that bad either for the top tier talents, as they are flown on first class flights, stay in five-star hotels or use luxury rental cars - often at the expense of the company.
There are also tidy bonuses when they headline big events.
Brock Lesnar leads the way for big extras with a host of main events - and he also boasts the most significant base salary.
According to a report, the former UFC fighter earns an astonishing Sh1.2 billion ($12million) a year as a base. He also receives a cool $500,000-per-main event appearance.
Second on the list is fan favourite John Cena, who earns a whopping Sh851 million ($8.5million) per year. He has recently followed Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson into Hollywood and makes a huge sum of money from there.
Like Lesnar, he is paid Sh50 million ($500,000) for main event showings and also takes home five percent of all merchandise sales.
There have been big strides forward for women in the WWE in recent years and there are now female superstars making over a million.
Ronda Rousey signed a contract worth Sh150 million ($1.5million) a year when she joined at the start of 2018.
The WWE women's champion has headlined a host of shows since joining and has taken home main event bonuses for her battles with the likes of Charlotte Flair and Nikki Bella.
