Wrestlers, regardless of where they come from, will find a way to reward themselves for their toil. It is no secret that wrestling, despite its scripted nature, is one of the most taxing jobs in the world. Back when the pandemic was still not a thing, WWE was especially well-known for its almost-daily touring schedule, which has recently been picking up steam again with the relaxation of sanitary policies.
But even in such an unforgiving profession, the desire for reward and satisfaction is high, and these items prove it. And even outside the company, wrestlers still would find their calendars packed with dates.
10 Rey Mysterio's Swords
Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest luchadors in the history of professional wrestling, maybe even the single greatest according to some. Even in his 40s, he continues to showcase impressive speed and agility, darting in and out of the ring and hitting his famed 619 on larger opponents.
But what may be even more impressive is the collection of swords he has in his house, including a piece from The Scorpion King that bears the signature of The Rock himself, Dwayne Johnson.
9 Brock Lesnar's Cadillac Escalade
Brock Lesnar is without a doubt, one of the most physically intimidating forces in all wrestling - not just in WWE. This 265-pound behemoth can lift opponents as large as Omos and slam them onto the mat, and such a powerful man needs a powerful vehicle.
Enter the Cadillac Escalade. The flagship of GM's luxury division houses a 6.2-liter twin-turbo V8 that can make 420 hp and can hit 60mph from a standstill in 6.7 seconds. It can cost up to $88,000, a fitting price that only a top star like Lesnar can pay.
8 John Cena's Ford GT
John Cena still appears and wrestles occasionally in WWE, so technically, he should still count here. The multiple-time world champion has a very impressive collection of cars, mainly pony cars, that he keeps in his Tampa mansion. But the one that truly stands out is a $500,000 Ford GT (the 2016-17 V6 version, not any of the old models).
Early into his ownership, he attempted to resell the car, but Ford sued him on the grounds that it violated his contract. They would eventually settle, and Cena still has it, apparently.
7 Roman Reigns' Mansion
Roman Reigns' SummerSlam 2023 victory may not be the most popular decision, but his Island of Relevancy will stand another day. In real life, however, his residence is just as luxurious as he imagines said island to be.
There is not much information available about Roman's house, the Tribal Chief clearly did not settle for anything less than his net worth and current stature deserve. Reportedly, it boasts a swimming pool, outdoor lake, and even ocean views - fitting for someone whose gimmick is inspired by Samoan hierarchy.
6 Baron Corbin's Body Parts
Now this may initially seem out of left field, but collecting bones and the like takes considerable cost, given the many sanitary risks they could pose.
Those risks, however, did not stop Baron Corbin. The villain that people love to hate has had a somewhat unnerving obsession with body parts ever since before he even made it to WWE. Among his prized possessions are human skulls, medieval medical equipment, and even the remnant of a brain - definitely the kind that would guarantee that he never, ever turns face...
5 Kofi Kingston's Helmets
Kofi Kingston loves comics and video games. This even extends to his collection of things, in this case, helmets. The helmet shown in the image above is a Viking-style twin-horned helmet with frills that surely took a fortune to acquire, given its age.
He also has Darth Vader, Iron Man, and Tom Brady represented in the same collection.
4 Stone Cold Steve Austin's Watch
While Stone Cold Steve Austin is, for all intents and purposes, retired, he did fight Kevin Owens at last year's WrestleMania 38, so he technically should still count.
That being said, a rugged personality like him should be expected to have an inexpensive yet rugged watch while he struts around his ranch. Instead, he has some fairly high-quality pieces like the Panerai Luminor Submersible, which can sell for upwards of $9,000 yet still boast important features like waterproofing.
3 CM Punk's House
For someone who lives a straight-edge life, CM Punk has amassed enough fortune to afford an exquisite place to call home. His abode in Chicago has a forest theme, with one of his beds seemingly growing branches at the legs.
In another bedroom, the walls are painted with tree designs, and there is even a staircase to the TV that evokes how one gets to a tree house. Most of the walling and tiling are either wooden or colored in various shades of brown meant to evoke various types of wood.
2 Chris Jericho's Lamborghini
Chris Jericho is one of the most respected veterans in the business, able to create captivating storylines when he is at the peak of his creative powers. He also loves everything about the rockstar lifestyle, especially considering that he is the lead vocalist of Fozzy.
Case in point: his taste in cars. His mansion in Odessa, Florida, can store approximately five cars. One of them is a Lamborghini, which is obviously hard to get. It proves how far Jericho has gone since his Young Lion days in New Japan.
1 Matt Cardona's $11,000 Figure
Matt Cardona, fka Zack Ryder, successfully reinvented himself after his WWE release as a narcissistic yet brutal heel who loved deathmatches and collected belts as if it were a hobby. But there is also another thing that he loves to acquire: toys.
One of them is a figure of WWE legend Kamala that he says he paid $11,000 for. If a figure is that expensive, then chances are it is one of a kind, like that nude Miss Elizabeth figure that he sold for $45,000.
