Is it a rumor that the Divas are paid less than the male performers? I read that somewhere. I don't remember. Maybe it was one of those NEWZ sites or from someone who doesn't like Vince McMahon.

It's probably a case by case thing. For instance, I'd imagine that Kelly Kelly makes less than say....CM Punk, but probably more than guys on the level of Trent Baretta.

Is the highest paid women's wrestler paid more than the lowest paid male wrestler on the roster? Yes.
Is the highest paid women's wrestler paid anywhere close to the highest paid male wrestler on the roster? Hahahahahahaha, no.

These divas, as a group, not individual diva A vs. all male talent? Hell yeah. Trish made alot of money back in the day, though.

They probably make less, and rightfully so. I assume they generate less revenue for the WWE. Not many people in attendance wearing Bella twins T shirts ya dig?

I'd bet that women who hold tenure with the company (especially Melina, Beth Phoenix, possibly Layla and Kelly, and obviously Michelle McCool, if she's still technically contracted) all make a pretty damn respectable amount of money. Anywhere near what the main eventers get? Probably not, but I'm sure it's better than what a lot of the guys, especially lower-card guys, make.

I remember the pay charts from a few years ago, and the highest paid Diva made somewhere in the neighborhood of $200,000 a year. I would assume that the highest paid Diva makes somewhere around the same amount if not a touch more now. EDIT: My mistake. Just found the old charts, and the highest paid Diva earned $618,000 in a year (that of course being Trish Stratus). However, I would assume the highest paid is most likely Melina because of her tenure with the company, which would be probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $200,000-$300,000 a year.

They have the easiest job in the WWE.
Wrestle for 2 minutes a night, if you're 2 out of 20 that are chosen. The rest are just paid to look pretty, and make appearences and do photo shoots.

I'm sure they get paid on average less, particularly easily replaceable models with little wrestling skill or presence.

I certainly hope Natalya is making more than DH Smith, and just as much as Tyson Kidd, but for all we know, they both make more than she does.
Although DH Smith was signed before Natalya and Tyson IIRC, so they might all have negotiated different contracts....
