The most anticipated days of the year for WWE fandom are almost here as WrestleMania is set to kick off soon. With notable matchups, heated rivalries, and plenty of verbal fireworks expected, the fandom is headed for a pure entertainment weekend. And this year, the event is going all out, even bringing in former WWE star John Cena as host.

Much like last year, a massive, eager crowd will be heading to Las Vegas for the event. But while WWE is pulling out all the stops for the 42nd edition, how much are wrestlers getting paid?

Earlier, WWE star-turned-executive Paul Levesque, also known as Triple H, told The Athletic in 2022 that $250,000 is the minimum base salary for main roster wrestlers in the company. However, this number reportedly only applied to the performers for Raw and SmackDown. Those in NXT might have a different value. 

In the last few, the number must have increased. Now, while speaking of numbers, Mirror reported that performers like Roman Reigns and Randy Orton earn $5 million, while Logan Paul earns $2 million in a year. And this number is excluding the bonus that they earn per year.

The performers also earn through merchandise sales and, in some cases, a share of pay-per-view revenue. And that ultimately boosts their overall pay. So, this time of WrestleMania weekend is crucial for the performers, as the crowd is likely to engage more. 

While the earnings and pay structure are certainly amusing, what fans are waiting for is the event itself. When can fans watch the WrestleMania 42 edition?

WrestleMania 42 is all set to take place as a two-night event on April 18 and 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Those present at the event will have their time to secure the merchandise, autographs, and much more. The action will kick off at 4 pm PT / 6 pm CT / 7 pm ET. The time will be different in other international regions. 

It will also easily be available to those who wish to stream WrestleMania 42. The event will be streamed live on Netflix (UK and other  for those who have a subscription. As for the people in the US, the event will be broadcast live on ESPN.
