In reality, being a World Champion or WWE Champion means headlining most shows, getting a bit of extra merchandise, and having to lug a belt around airports. But what kayfabe benefits should it bring?
Bumper payrise?
Luxury travel wherever you go?
Entitlement to two comely wenches of virtue true?
How do you imagine a WWE Champion's life, compared to what it really is?

The luxury of never having to change your facial expression or put any inflection in your voice.

I don't think the belt itself comes with a pay raise. I doubt Orton looks at his check and sees WWE title bonus. But it does guarantee you a spot near the top of most cards which I would imagine pays more than curtain jerker or the like.

A WWE champion gets a vivacious young woman NAMED Mint placed on their pillow every evening. Hey! She's working to put her kid through karate class! Be nice! |

I had John Cena's itinerary in my hand from last year. This is what it encompasses...
6:42AM: Wake up and eat some Apple Jacks.
8:00AM: Participate in a radio interview with some unfunny disc jockey who plays random soundbites and pretends to be edgy by saying 'ass' live on-air.
8:45AM: Hit the gym. Those triceps aren't gonna tone themselves.
11:30AM: Review last night's RAW and work on moves missed with a WWF Ted DiBiase Wrestling Buddy.
1:00PM: Go onto a wrestling message board and laugh at the sad, pathetic people who think I'm the spawn of evil because I'm doing what the creative team is telling me to do.
4:00PM: Visit a sick hospital and make balloon animals for kids with lupus.
5:30PM: Arrive to a house show and sign some autographs for the same people criticizing me on wrestling message boards a few hours earlier.
7:00PM: Get backstage and play a quick game of "Skate or Die" with Shelton Benjamin.
9:00PM: Main event a house show in a match with Umaga.
10:30PM: Go out to a club with some of the guys backstage and pick up some big breasted halfwits.
1:00AM: Hook up with a big breasted halfwit in a bathroom stall and give her Super Crazy's phone number.
1:30AM: Head back to the hotel room to fall asleep.

Depends on who the champion is. I dont think these days it means very much in that sense. Back in the day when you were made champion you were the prized asset, probably treated differently to everyone else as the company needed to look after you, make sure you were happy and all that kinda stuff as you were the figurehead of the business.
These days I doubt they get treated any different at all other than Cena who simply because WWE was doing a Hogan with him they probably gave him special treatment.

First in line at catering, you can arrive whenever you want, and you get to pick something out of the WWE vault every other month.

In reality the Champion gets paid a higher salary too.
